What did prisoners of war did under internment? Judging from this cookbook, they dreamt of home, and eating all the wonderful foods that reminded them of the safety of home.

This prisoners of war cookbook, on display at the Memories at Old Ford Factory, shows us one of the ways prisoners coped with the stresses of being locked up, with no way of knowing if they were ever going to be free again.

In this cookbook, prisoners of the Japanese Occupation collected their thoughts and dreams of what they would prepare once they got home. It is a sad reminder that war makes us understand where home is, and that war is something that should be a avoided at all costs.
