When the United States entered the war, following the attacks on Pearl Harbor western civilians living in China were rounded up and imprisoned by the Japanese until the end of the war; the prison camp at Weihsien in Shandong Province, being one of the largest. Though food was scarce, living conditions harsh, and rescue uncertain, the story of Weihsien prison camp embodies human resilience, creativity, and heroism in the face of opposition.
