Japan in the pacfic War: Inside and Out

Description:
Though the Pacific War is featured in Hollywood movies several times, little is known about what was experienced beyond the battlefield, especially by youngsters and children. In this class we will focus on what the Pacific War actually meant for Japan and how the Japanese perspective differed from that of the western media.


Objective:
Students are encouraged to form a general picture of the Pacific War and consider child ‘victims’ of war including those from sites outside of Japan.
