| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account of a doctor who was called to service in 1941, ostensibly for one year. Instead of that one year, he was shipped to the Philippines and became a prisoner of war when Bataan fell. After two years in Philippine camps, he was moved to Mukden, Manchuria, where he was when the war ended. Despite the lack of medicine and medical facilities, Dr. Shabart tended to the sick prisoners as best as he could, including an appendectomy without proper equipment. While in Mukden, ten colonels were taken by the Japanese and were never seen again. Dr. Shabart believes they may have been used in medical experiments with the notorious Unit 731 (Japan's germ warfare unit) which was close by. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
