LOST TRACK OVER DE BIRMA - SIAM SPOORWEG

fotoboeken / tentoonstelling / Het boek Lost Track over de Birma - Siam spoorweg van fotograaf Raoul Kramer wordt vrijdag 13 augustus gelanceerd in Kamp Westerbork. Het boek gaat over de aanleg van de spoorweg die 16 september 1942 begon en in 1944 klaar was. 15.000 krijgsgevangenen en 100.000 dwangarbeiders van Thailand, Birma en Maleisië overleefden de uitputting, verhongering en slechte omstandigheden niet.

The first 65: World War II ended on 15 August, 65 years ago. To mark this special anniversary I have made a numbered edition of my forthcoming photo book, “Lost Track”, which is about the Burma-Thailand Railway 65 years on. The first 65 purchasers will receive a numbered and signed edition of the first 65 printed books.

Book launch & exhibition at Memorial Centre Camp Westerbork on Friday 13 August 2010

Two days before World War Two ended 65 years ago, the book “Lost Track” will be released during the opening of the exhibition Burma- Siam Railway: 65 years on
