Forced labourers
Thousands of prisoners of war and local workers toiled on the Burma railway through the heart of the Burmese and Thai jungles. The work was exhausting, the conditions incredibly bad. Many met their death here. Other prisoners of war worked in the mines or the docks or constructed airfields. The women were forced to knit socks, sew caps or breed pigs for the Japanese soldiers.
