Taking History as
a Lesson
At the end of your trip
at the exhibition hall is this interesting feature. "Taking
History as a lesson" is an account of what survivors of the
Japanese Occupation learnt during their three years and eight months
spent under Japanese rule.
This thought-provoking
exhibit has its words printed on a large mirror which is mounted
on the wall. Our group feels that this is the most unique and interesting
exhibit as the purpose of this exhibit is to encourage visitors
to reflect on the Japanese Occupation, and the creative use of the
mirror fulfils its purpose supremely. It also serves as an appropriate
end to this wonderful exhibition. The mirror provides visitors with
a reflection of themselves, prompting them to focus on reflecting
on the lessons that can be learnt from the Japanese Occupation and
think about what they have learnt from the exhibits.
