Hello there! I am a 20 year old Indonesian currently living in the same province as where you were born, though I live in Surabaya (Soerabaja). As an Indonesian, the bersiap period is indeed one of the less known and less studied event in our history despite being really important. For example our history do acknowledge that atrocities were committed by the Pemudas against the Japanese but the details are very hazy when it comes to the atrocities commited to the Chinese and the Indos. Here are my questions:
1) What is life look like in the Dutch part of Lumajang? How is your daily life during that time?
2) How close are you the native childrens? Do you only knew the ones from the upper class (priyayi)?
Anyway that's all for now.. Selamat malam from Indonesia!
