HKVCA Virtual Event - The WW II Civilian Internment in Hong Kong

Beginning in December 1941 over 100,000 Allied civilians across China and Southeast Asia were taken prisoner by the Japanese, including entire families. Their internment was extremely unpleasant and for many, deteriorated drastically later in the war. Some 2,800 civilians, among them a number of Canadians, were interned in Hong Kong. Hear about them and how they lived during their imprisonment, the complex negotiations to repatriate the Canadians among them, and the impacts on their lives after their return to Canada. Martin Heyes of Hong Kong and Julien Lehoux of Montreal present this fascinating story.
