Unsung Heroes Eleanor Nunis

A true story of a family that had to flee Singapore just days before this former British colony fell to the invading Japanese Army in World War II. Captured at sea, the women and children endured years of incarceration while some of their menfolk who were also caught, were sent to work on the infamous Death Railway in Burma. Amidst the cruelty, brutality and terror, there were also unexpected moments of kindness and compassion shown. Above all, this story is about the human spirit and how love, hope and courage shine a light through the darkness.
