The horrors of World War II affected children in Asia in both predictable and surprising ways: they were hungry, sick, and poorly clothed and housed. They often were separated from their families and lost parents or siblings. Some even lost their own lives. But they also were courageous and proved to be more resilient than might be expected. At our half-day conference, we will address this neglected issue, with presentations on children in wartime Taiwan, China, and the Philippines.
