| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account of an American girl born and raised in Baguio, and her family. Betsy Herold's father was chief mining engineer of Benguet Consolidated Mining Co.; when the war started, the children were sent to stay with a German couple outside Baguio, but they returned to the city before Christmas. The family was interned by the Japanese when the Japanese took over Baguio, first in Camp John Hay and then in Camp Holmes, just outside the city. There they spent the rest of the war until December 1944, when they were brought to Bilibid Prison in Manila. The Baguio internees, including the Herold family, was liberated by the 37th Infantry Division in February 1945, and the author describes her memories of that event, as well as post-internment life and repatriation to the US. She describes her difficult adjustment to American life, with classmates who knew nothing about what she had been through. This book is based mainly on the author's memories, but also on her mother's diary and memoirs of other Baguio internees. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
