Highlight: Taiwan POW Camps Remembrance DayBy Han Cheung / Staff reporterThis year is a special one for the Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society — Aug. 15 marked the 75th anniversary of VJ Day, the Allied victory over Japan and the end of World War II. Only then were the surviving men held in the 14 POW camps across Taiwan able to go free. They will be hosting their annual Remembrance Day event on Nov. 15 at the memorial, followed by a picnic lunch at the community center. Relatives of the POWs lay down poppy wreaths at the Kinkaseki POW Camp memorial during 2016’s Remembrance Day event. ■ Nov. 15 at 11am at Taiwan POW Memorial Park in Jinguashi, New Taipei City.
