Show Z NAIDA LAROCO IL VEY D MB R 11 2004 ZEN: Yeah. They came and would even give us some food and donati n and thing like that. As I was saying when they saw me I was dressed in old woman attir b cau if you dressed yourself different from that they might rape you or harm you or something. BEC: Oh, I see. ZEN: But, he said, "You look like my sister!" BEC: Is that right? ZEN: That's what one of the Japanese told me, I mean pointed at me. He was laughing. And then they became really different and they gave us food. BEC: Well, that was nice. That worked out nicely for you. ZEN: Yeah, they'd come up not too far from us in open fields and during lunch time and they shared the food. BEC: Wow. Oh, that is something-really interesting. ZEN: Yeah, it is. BEC: So did your father, did he practice law during the war? What did he do? ZEN: No. Before that. BEC: Before that. So during the war he was just working to survive? Just growing food and ... there wasn't a lot to do work-wise. But your family survived well enough? ZEN: My family survived well because, I think, everybody shared whatever they had, we shared each other's things, like how they do this ... we raised chickens. We raised pigs. We raised goats a lot and we would barter. We'd share with our neighbors, maybe a kilo of this, a pound of this, and something. And we didn't go to the town to the marketplace, because we didn't know what might happen. We were scared. It could be peaceful, but it could be that something would happen. That fear was there. 14 |
