How was daily activities in Japanese concentration camp? Did you get to meet your mother and your siblings after you're set free? Was it true that Japan also kidnapped those woman to turn into their comfort woman?

i'm Indonesian but this is my first time hearing the term "1000 of Amahei". Just googled and it's a village in Ceram Island (Pulau Seram). What have they done to those people? i'm petrified that there are so many untold story that is still not mentioned in our history book :(

I can't believe there are still people today who think those girls were too stupid or reckless and have reasonable reason to be consficated by Japanese. Many young people desired for war just to prove their nationalism have to realize that war is not something to be desired of.

1000 of Amahei i recognized since this happened in Indonesia so Amahei is a name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_South_Maluku https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amahai,_Maluku_Tengah (in indonesian with more details)

Amahei come from from a sentece "Ama Hei nama Namakala” which means "Bapak sejak dahulu kala". in literal translation it's 'Father since ancient times'. They're the eldest and have been there since Nunusaku Kingdom which was the ancient kingdom who was believed to be the origin of Molucca's culture. (http://www.tihulale.com/2015/06/Kerajaan-Nunusaku-Dan-Penyebab-Kehancurannya.html) Based on Dutch historian, Seram Island have been there since 3 billion years ago which means it's been there since Stone Age as they also found Parang (machete) and Tombak (Spear).

I don't know if OP's father was from there but it's just my first instinct to google that particular word.

Holly shit.. I have never heard those things you just mentioned. i found wikipedia pages about it but what about personality cult? ELI5, what is it about?
