The Bataan Death March is well known in the United States, but what happened to those who survived it is not.
A traveling exhibition in San Francisco tells the lesser known story of how Allied prisoners of war ended up in one of the Japanese Army's most notorious prisoner of war camps, in Mukden (today's Shenyang), China, their darkest days there and their tenacious struggle against Japanese oppression.
The exhibition, Forgotten Camp, offers a glimpse into the hardships endured by more than 2,000 Allied prisoners, 1,200 of them from the United States, at the Shenyang World War II Allied POW Camp, from 1942 to 1945.
