The document summarizes the horrific events of the Bataan Death March that occurred in April 1942. Over 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers surrendered to the Japanese and were forced to march over 60 miles with little food or water. Many were beaten, denied aid, or executed along the way. By the end of the nine-day march, around 10,000 men had been killed due to disease, heat stroke, or execution. Survivors suffered for years from trauma of the painful events.
