prisoners of war

250

380 (all of Maoemere)

On April 25th 1943, 2,079 Dutch prisoners of war from Tjimahi left with the Tazima Maru, Tenzio Maru and Koam Maru from Soerabaja bound for Timor. On 9 May they arrived at Maoemere. They were put to work laying the Maoemere-Oost and Waioti airfields and the expansion of Maoemere City, an old Dutch airfield. The prisoners of war were housed in three camps they built themselves. The camps consisted of barracks of bamboo and atap, encircled with barbed wire. The hospital camp approximately 3 kilometres west of Maoemere was named after the camp elder Dr. J. Wulff. For the first several days the sick prisoners had to lie in the open air on the ground (in the rain); later canopy shelters (barracks with roofs but no walls) were built. In June the sick people from the Wulff Camp were transferred to the Reyers Camp.
