"During World War II, Japanese built railways in the border territory of Thailand and Burma and in Sumatra. For these constructions they recruited prisoners of war (POW) and Asian civilians, known as the Romushas.
The life and work conditions of these forced laborers were very miserable. More than 60,000 POWs, among them 18,000 Dutch, worked on the 414 kilometers long railway in Burma. About 20% of this number of people died during the construction. Around 6,500 POWs, most of them Dutch, were recruited for the railway construction in Pekanbaru. One third of these did not make it until the end of the war. According to experts, 80% to 90% of 100,000 Javanese forced laborers in Pekanbaru and 160,000 Romushas in Birma died during the construction of the railways at both places.
More than fifty years later, Jan Banning tried to trace survivors of the railway constructions. The result of it is the "Tracks of War", which consists of a series of photos and text of 24 survivors who worked as forced laboreres in one of those railway constructions. Jan Banning photographed 16 Dutch and Eurasian survivors and 8 former Romushas, now living in Sumatra and Java.
During the conversation and photo session, Jan Banning led these men back to their lives during the war. They are photographed in the way they worked those days: stripped to the waist."
