Exhibition on POW camp to visit US

An exhibition will travel to the United States to tell the stories of Allied troops held at a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Shenyang, China, during World War II.

Comprising about 200 photographs and dozens of duplicate artifacts, the exhibition presents the prisoners' difficult lives at the Mukden POW Camp, also known as Shenyang World War II Allied POW Camp.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Nov 21 to Dec 5 at the WWII Pacific War Memorial Hall in San Francisco. Besides photos, exhibits include diaries and cartoons the prisoners created while in captivity. The artifacts were donated by veterans and their descendants.
