Camp O'Donnell

Camp O'Donnell is a historical site in the Philippines that was originally a U.S. military training camp in the early 20th century. During World War II, it became infamous as the location of a brutal prisoner-of-war camp where thousands of Filipino and American soldiers were held after the Fall of Bataan in 1942. Many prisoners suffered from severe conditions, disease, and malnutrition. Today, Camp O'Donnell is a memorial site honoring those who endured and died there, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the war.
