[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9535638, member: 2844"]Beautiful, whit. I agree, that's very sad and unjust. But on the other hand, they got something in return, which is more than the population of E and SE Asia got during the extreme hardships of the Japanese occupation. They even stole food from the local population during the wartime famines in Vietnam, Java and Madura. The horrendous Japanese war crimes in occupied Asia, including the 1937 "Rape of Nanking", were supported by most of the Japanese population. That doesn't mean that the Japanese should have been treated the same as they treated their millions of victims, but there is a difference between getting a sack of food in return for a precious item and having your last morsel of food stolen from you, on top of everything else that was stolen.[/QUOTE]
