Author’s Note: This article has been edited for clarity and readability. It is based on interview sessions with Uncle Sarvaes, whose oral history offers a deeply personal account of life during World War II. These stories are part of a broader tapestry of individual, community and collective memory, reflecting the Japanese Occupation’s profound and lasting impact on our local history.
