Changi Chapel & Museum
Changi Chapel and Museum is a lasting testament to the endurance and courage of World War II prisoners-of-war, and highlights an important part of Singapore's war history. Located in an open-air courtyard, Changi Chapel was first built by the inmates of Changi and stands as a monument to those who kept their faith and dignity in the face of seemingly hopeless odds. Through a selection of photographs, drawings and personal items donated by former prisoners-of-war and their families, Changi Museum tells the moving story of over three years of occupation and the imprisonment of more than 50,000 civilians and soldiers. |
