A Curious Cage: Life in a Japanese Internment Camp 1943-1945

Peggy Abkhazi is the center of this book, another of the women that ended up being put into a Japanese internment camp during the war. She was in Shanghai where she was taken by the Japanese to be put into an internment camp. She was fortunately never beaten although she admits to having work long hours as labor.

It seems that her camp was one of the better ones. She notes that, while still in Shanghai, the Japanese stole anything they wanted from the people,putting tags on furniture and other items claiming it now belonged to the Emperor.

She managed to keep a journal which was one thing that Japanese always looked out for during their searches.
