Thank you for the Sept. 18 editorial "Day of the war makers." I was one of those who suffered during the Japanese occupation of the former Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. My father was killed by the Kempeitai. But I fully agree that it is good to listen to each other's stories.
I would love to read stories from the Japanese side (in English). We should all try to understand what happened and why. I am 81 and fully aware that the Japanese people also suffered during that horrible war. I have written down my story on my Web site: www.dutch-east-indies.com
