POW experiences

Prisoners of War (POWs) often face intense physical and emotional challenges, including captivity, isolation, and potential mistreatment. Their experiences can involve prolonged uncertainty about their fate, loss of freedom, and separation from loved ones. Many endure harsh conditions, hunger, and stress, which can impact mental health. Despite these hardships, some POWs find ways to endure through resilience, camaraderie, and hope. Their experiences highlight the human capacity for endurance in extreme circumstances and underscore the importance of humane treatment and the rule of law in wartime.
