Jan Ruff-O'Herne ... raped day and night by soldiers as a young woman.
An Australian woman forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese during World War II will appear before a US Congressional hearing seeking an apology for her treatment.
Eighty-four-year-old Jan Ruff O'Herne was 19 when she was seized from a prisoner of war camp in Indonesia and forced into a brothel to become one of hundreds of thousands of so-called "comfort women".
Ms O'Herne, from Adelaide, said she was "raped day and night" by Japanese soldiers for three months during the war....more
She indicated that it was time for a proper apology (from anyone except Charles)!
