Program Description
Event Details
In 1941, twelve U.S. Navy Nurses were taken prisoner of war in the Philippines by the Empire of Japan. They were soon transferred to a civilian concentration camp in Manila, where they provided tireless care to thousands of inmates. In 1943, the nurses bravely agreed to transfer to a countryside prison camp where they would be the only medical care providers. Join Emilie Lucchesi, author, journalist and educator as she recounts the little known story of 12 nurses whose heroism saved thousands of lives.
