Dream - The Death Railway or known as "The Death Railway" is a railway line in the Kanchanaburi Province that crosses the Thailand-Myanmar border.
Tahun 1942
In the year 1942, this project was filled with hundreds of thousands of workers, the majority of whom were Romusha from the island of Java.
According to merdeka.com, these romusha were forcibly recruited from areas under Japanese military occupation, totaling more than 100 thousand people.
"They are forced to work even though the terrain is steep, traversing valleys, and penetrating the jungle. The appearance of the romusha is very pitiful. They are left neglected and living in a camp with thatched roofs."
Japanese historian, Aiko Kurosawa writes, the cruelty of the Japanese military leaders at that time is like that of animals. Sick slaves will be left to die and replaced with new ones.
Exacerbated by the cholera epidemic, dysentery, and other epidemics. The scarcity of food supplies and healthcare facilities resulted in a high number of casualties and deaths among allied prisoners of war.
"Dikubur Hidup-hidup" translates to "Buried Alive" in English.
Aiko Kurosawa wrote, they were buried alive because it was cheaper to replace new romusha than to restore the sick ones. In addition, Writer David Bougen said, out of 200 thousand to 500 thousand Javanese romusha who participated in the war, only 70 thousand survived.
"Dibawa ke Myanmar" translates to "Taken to Myanmar" in English.
The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Surviving romusha were transported to Setse Beach in Martaban Bay. They were picked up with Landing Craft Tank (LCT) 7002 heading towards the ship, which was then taken to Ranggon, the largest city in Myanmar."
From Ranggon, the romusha were then sent back to their respective regions. A total of 800 romusha from Java Island arrived at Tanjung Priok Port, Jakarta.
They were welcomed by the International Red Cross and assisted by the British fleet in facilitating the romusha victims. Ambulances can be seen lined up neatly at the dock, ready to guide the romusha.
