Description
In the quiet of morning, exactly six months after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese touched down on American soil. Landing at the remote Alaska island of Attu, they assailed an entire village, holding the Alaskan villagers for two months and sooner or later corralling all survivors into a freighter bound for Japan.
A kind of survivors, Nick Golodoff, became a prisoner of war at just six years old. He used to be a number of the dozens of Unangan Attu residents swept away to Hokkaido, and one in all only twenty-five to continue to exist. Attu Boy tells Golodoff’s story of these harrowing years as he found both friendship and cruelty by the hands of the Japanese. It offers a rare have a look at the lives of civilian prisoners and their captors in WWII-era Japan. It also tells of Golodoff’s bittersweet return to a place of birth torn apart by occupation and forced internments. Interwoven with other voices from Attu, this richly illustrated memoir is a testament to the struggles, triumphs, and heartbreak of lives disrupted by war.
