Luba writes:

I have written up my HK war experiences to several sites and made a report to the HK War Crimes project because Col Tokunaga, came to our house  uninvited while my father was a POW and chose our house for his residence.  We managed to sail to Shanghai in the hold of a freighter. I was 10 years old when Japan attacked and 14 when the was was over.

Luba's report to the HK War Crimes project makes very interesting reading, and is available online at: http://hkwctc.lib.hku.hk/items/show/92
