Description
New Guinea. German and US nuns who were rescued by the Allies after the capture of Hollandia. During Japanese occupation the nuns were often beaten and made to work hard. One nun who asked for some flour was struck in the face by a Japanese officer. This is one of the many insults offered to them by the enemy.
