prisoners of war

500

One section of the large hospital complex on Soekoen was used in March 1942 to intern Moluccan and some Menadonese and Timorese prisoners of war. In July those military personnel who were made into heihos by the Japanese were freed. The rest, about 250 prisoners, were taken to Keloet Street. The hospital was thereafter, until 1 February 1943, a regular camp hospital for prisoners of war in Malang.
