Description:
Behind the gleaming skyscrapers of Singapore hide the deep, dark scars of people who are haunted by the memories of explosive air raids, survived a horrific massacre, and endured torture, rape, and starvation just decades ago.
As we walk through WWII sites together, we learn about Singapore's wartime history and how we went from the Gibraltar of the East to the “worst and largest capitulation in British history” within days. We remember the thousands of innocent lives lost and the heroes and heroines who stepped up to make the ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us can live.
This story is told by Ping, whose family members survived the war and shared their traumatic encounters with her.
