Summer 1945. Japanese ‘comfort women’ POWs were taken by U.S. soldiers to a beauty salon — an act they could never have imagined.
They expected humiliation, abuse, and the loss of dignity. Years of propaganda had told them capture meant dishonor. Many had prepared to die rather than be taken.
But what happened stunned them. The Americans offered care, respect, blankets, and food — yet never crossed the line. Small acts of humanity left a greater mark than cruelty ever could.
This is the forgotten story of dignity preserved in captivity and the shocking power of mercy during wartime.
