| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have interviewed eleven (11) people who had experienced evacuation during World WarⅡ. Based on this interview, we have analyzed the effect of such war-time experience caused to them for the rest of their life. They were teens during the war, but they are in their 80s now. They have experienced bullying, continuous hunger and loneliness. Some of them have been troubled by aftereffect of injury or memory of witnessing their friend’s death.
In this study, war orphans and their lives were also unveiled. Although Okinawa prefecture was completely devastated after the war, many children were safely accommodated in orphanages and were cared. On the other hand, many orphans were deserted in the mainland and were often betrayed by grown-ups, but somehow they had managed to live through. Until recently, they were silent, but finally 70 years after the war, they began to tell his stories.
