Note:"Millions of soldiers fought in World War II, and hundreds of thousands were captured during various battles or when their planes were shot down. Some of those prisoners were executed, but most were sent to prisoner of war camps. Some died or were murdered in the camps, but most suffered because of conditions in the camps, a lack of food, medicine, and hygiene. Here are the stories of sixteen former POWs from Western Pennsyvania and Eastern Ohio as they relive their ordeals in vivid detail. Listen to their stories of life in the prison camps and experience their sense of humor that endured through the worst of times. Hear stories of comradship, perseverance, and patriotism. But most of all remember the sacrifice they made for the freedom we enjoy today."--Back cover
