In today's show Liz Coward give us a tour of the Chango Museum and Chapel.
www.nhb.gov.sg.... The Changi Chapel is modelled after St George’s Church, one of the numerous churches built by the prisoners of war (POWs) in Changi during their internment. It was started by Reverend Eric Cordingly, who presided over it for the rest of the war. The furnishings for the church were painstakingly handcrafted or scavenged by the POWs. As the POWs were moved across Singapore and Thailand, St George’s Church moved with them. The Changi Museum's narrative is centred on remembrance and reflection, encouraging visitors to contemplate both the hardships that the internees underwent, as well as their courage and resilience in the face of difficulties.
