| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal story of an American wife whose husband had been sent to Bataan. Rather than sit out the war in Santo Tomas internment camp, she tried to join her husband in Bataan, but was unsuccessful. She decided to stay in Manila to help her husband and other prisoners of war by sending food and other assistance to them. She had been a Red Cross nurse, and thus had connections; she feigned Lithuanian citizenship to avoid being interned. Together with Claire Phillips (see "Manila Espionage"), "Miss U" successfully managed to help the prisoners of war in Camp O'Donnell and Cabanatuan, at the risk of her life. She was, in fact, arrested and tortured by the Japanese, but was released. She joined the guerrillas in Central Luzon afterwards as a nurse. Her efforts were recognized by the US government after the war, which awarded her the Medal of Freedom. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
