  • Description

    "I can't visualise us getting out of this, but I want to TRY to believe in a future" wrote 23-year-old Barbara on 8th December 1941, a few hours after Japan attacked Hong Kong. Her 1941-1946 diaries are an invaluable source of information on the civilian experience in Hong Kong during the second world war. They record her thoughts and experiences through the fighting, surrender, years of internment, then liberation and adjustment to normal life.
