Goals
Mukden
P.O.W.
Remembrance Society (MPOWRS) was
founded specifically to:
 |
Educate the people of America, China and the
countries of our WW2 Allies about the existence of the Mukden Prisoner of
War (POW) camp in Shenyang, China, where the treatment by the Japanese was
fairly typical of all their POW camps.
|
|
Recognize and honor the courage and
sacrifice of the men held POW at Mukden and record their stories so they may
be preserved for future generations
|
|
Preserve materials that
tell the stories of the men held at the Mukden POW camp. These materials
will be donated to the Mukden Museum for cataloging and display, and copies
of the written materials will be shared with other museums.
|
|
Encourage
international friendship, understanding, and world peace through the study
of history, by leading trips to the former camp, which is now a museum. |
Mission Statement
MPOWRS exists to facilitate communication and understanding among all
people through education about the courage and sacrifice of Allied prisoners
held at the Mukden POW camp in Shenyang, China. By collecting information from
those men, preserving it for future research, and sharing the information with
others, we hope future generations will turn to peace instead of war. The group
will also take former POWs, descendants and other interested people to visit the
museum now on the site of the former camp, help gather more information, and
help educate younger generations.
