Every country that ever colonized Indonesia always left some historical relics, be it relics in the form of buildings and art and culture. One of the historical heritage that we will discuss here is a historical relic during the Japanese occupation, the Japanese cave in Lembang, Bandung. The Japanese Cave is one of the historic caves created during World War II and became part of the history of this Republic. The city of Bandung is one of the three major offices on the island of Java and the city of Bandung which is also a place of Japanese war prisoners, both the Dutch East Indies and its allies as well as civilians.
Entering the Japanese Cave is like entering a period when human life is totally worthless. Awesomeness is waiting in the dark cave that is not equipped with illumination at all. Each cave hall was a silent witness to the murderous deaths of hundreds of romushas. They were forced to work voluntarily by the Japanese without any wage for three years to build a Japanese cave. In addition, the Japanese Cave was also a silent witness to the killing of hundreds of Japanese soldiers themselves who were slaughtered by allies in late 1945 at the end of World War II.
