Oral History Interview with Calvin Graef
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral monologue with Calvin Graef. Graef was born in 1913. In 1941 he was stationed at Fort Stotsenberg, Philippine Islands with the New Mexico National Guard 200th Coast Artillery. After the surrender to Japanese forces he participated in the Bataan Death March to Camp O’Donnell, then to Cabanatuan. He comments on the treatment of the prisoners and their diseases. Graef was among the POWs placed aboard the Arisan Maru for shipment to Japan. He describes the horrific conditions on the ship and comments on the Japanese guards being young and extremely cruel. Recounting that the prisoners were seldom allowed to dispose of those who died, he estimates 300 to 400 bodies were in the hold when the ship was sunk. He saw the torpedo soon after it was launched by the American submarine and was ordered down into the hold soon after the ship was struck. The guards locked the hatch covers on the sinking ship to prevent any escape by the prisoners. Graef says it was only through American ingenuity and it taking hours for the ship to sink that the prisoners were able to force open the hatch covers. Once on deck they found the ship’s crew had taken all the life boats. He was in the water for hours and any attempts to get aboard Japanese ships in the area were met with long sharpened poles. Early the next morning, Graef swam to a lifeboat and found it occupied by three fellow prisoners. They found their way to a safe-haven. Only nine of the prisoners on board survived the sinking
