Death Railway
The "Death Railway" refers to a railway line built during World War II that connected Thailand and Burma (now Myanmar). Constructed by the Japanese military, it was intended to support their efforts in the war. The project involved forced labor, with many prisoners of war and local workers enduring harsh conditions, leading to significant loss of life.
The railway is infamous for the suffering endured by those who built it, with an estimated 100,000 laborers dying due to malnutrition, disease, and brutal treatment. Today, the Death Railway serves as a reminder of the atrocities of war and the resilience of those who survived.
