Survivors of WWII in the Pacific

In Survivors of WWII in the Pacific, Ronny Herman de Jong shares 14 compelling real-life experiences of men and women she knows, many of whom were only youngsters at the time of WWII.

Like Ronny and her family, each person was caught up in the world-shaking events of WWII in the Pacific. In spite of the horrific circumstances many endured, each became a survivor. They share their personal stories in the perpetual hope that wars will end and peace will embrace the earth.

A WWII survivor herself, Ronny's sensitivity to what others have lived through helps make these survivor experiences unforgettable.
