The Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society on Saturday held an event to honor the thousands of prisoners of war who endured hardship, and in many cases lost their lives, at camps in Taiwan and elsewhere in East Asia during World War II.

Participants observed a moment of silence after remarks by guests that recalled what they endured.

The 2001 film To End All Wars, which depicts the story of prisoners at a Japanese camp during World War II, was screened.

The event was held on Far East Prisoners of War Day, a day of tribute to those held by the Japanese during World War II, including at 16 sites in Taiwan.    [FULL  STORY]
