About this listen

Captured by the Japanese after the fall of Bataan, Lester I. Tenney was one of the very few who would survive the legendary Death March and three and a half years in Japanese prison camps. With an understanding of human nature, a sense of humor, sharp thinking, and fierce determination, Tenney endured the rest of the war as a slave laborer in Japanese prison camps.

My Hitch in Hell is an inspiring survivor's epic about the triumph of human will despite unimaginable suffering. This edition features a new introduction and epilogue by the author.

How could anyone live through this and stay sane.
To come home without a hero’s welcome is beyond understanding but epilogue does much to explain some of the reasons why.

Horrifying but well told

While I was not involved with the Pacific side of the 2nd World War, I was mixed up with the German side of the War, I was in Buchenwald Concentration Camp for 3 years and I was only five and a half years old when I arrived there in 1942 and for a child of that age it was really traumatic, especially so as being separated from my mother as she was taken to a different Camp.

Very interesting
