>In February 1944 Japanese officers entered the camp and ordered all single girls aged 17 to 21 to line up for inspection. “The officers paced up and down, up and down the line, inspecting each girl,” she recalled

>“Now they were standing directly in front of me. One of them lifted my chin with a stick to see my face. They stood there grinning, looking at my legs, at my face, at my body … Oh, my God, I prayed; don’t let them take me away.”

>Jan and six other girls were taken to a Dutch colonial house in Semarang converted into a brothel for army officers. “We were all virgins. So innocent,” she recalled. “We tried to find out from each other what was going to happen to us. To this day I have never forgotten that fear.”

>As Japanese officers arrived on their first night, she led the frightened girls in a recitation of Psalm 27: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear?

>“He stood right over me now, pointing the sword at my body. I pleaded with him through my gestures to allow me to say some prayers before I died. With his sword touching my flesh, I fell on my knees to pray … The Japanese officer was getting impatient now. He threw me on the bed and tore at my clothes, ripping them off. I lay there naked on the bed as he ran his sword slowly up and down over my body … I can find no words to describe this most inhumane and brutal rape.
