Diaries

George Beck: July 17, 1941

Raining all day but quite warm. Latest propaganda, “Germany thrown nine million men in the field against Russia”. Our working party reported for being idle. What a life this is, working from dawn to dusk each day, and praying for the time when we can say farewell to this country. I wonder what is happening in England now, hope the war finishes before this diary or I shall have given up hope.

Mister Park: July 17, 1943

(REDACTED), a comfort woman from Sakura Club, was suffering from considerable abdominal pain and in the afternoon I was told that she underwent surgery. During her seventh month of pregnancy there were abnormalities with the way the baby was kicking. She was admitted to Suzuki Hospital, but miscarried and was driven back here.

Haruyo and Hiroko had worked at Mr. Murayama's comfort station, but they left in order to live with their husbands. Logistics ordered them to return and now they are working as comfort women at Kinsen House.
