4. Thank you. Both my grandparents were victims

My grandmother died shortly after my dad was born from complications of the birth, because she was denied treatment in the hospitals run by the Japanese occupation government.

All told around 75% of my family on that side was dead by the time the war ended. 75% of a family dead in 4 years...
