Changi Museum

When the British army surrendered to the Japanese on 15th Februrary 1942, Singapore came under Japanese occupation, in what was probably the darkest time in the country's history. The Changi Museum is dedicated to the memory of all those who suffered during this time, and is probably the most harrowing collection of stories in all the war museums of Singapore. The incredibly moving exhibition is based on interviews with former inmates, Prisoners of War and their families. Personal accounts of torture and humiliation at the hands of the Kempeitei are interspersed with stories of the hardship of rationing and high inflation, and the struggle for survival.
