Dutch the podcast - Episode 18 - Hidden Trauma, Eighty Years after Indonesia
When he was eighty years old, Boudewyn van Oort was told that he had suffered from PTSD. His early youth in a wartime Japanese internment camp in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) impacted his whole life. We hear about his memories of the camp, his difficult reintegration into society, and his late diagnosis. We also hear about the unique experiences of a group of forgotten young boys - who all struggled with life itself – and were largely misunderstood by even their closest relatives.
