In the Article “Excerpts from Unbroken” By Laura Hillenbrand POWs in Japanese were made “Invisible” during their imprisonment because they treated them terribly. According “Every man in camp was thin, many emaciated… Rations weren’t nearly enough…Unheated,drafty rooms.” (Hillenbrand,Part 2) This shows that the POWs were treated terribly by the Japanese , making them have a harsh life in their imprisonment. This proves that the Japanese made the Pows invisible during their harsh bad imprisonment. Also, according to the article it states that, “Most suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD), characterized by flashbacks, anxiety, and nightmares.” (Hillenbrand,Part 4) This shows that the experience of trauma leads them to feel invisible.
