Hard labour under strict supervision
The detainees from the Dutch East Indies are badly treated. They are seen as real traitors. In the remote Camp Jodensavanne, they are forced into hard labour under strict supervision. In November 1942, five detainees refuse to carry out an order. They are thrown into wooden punishment cells. Four of the prisoners manage to escape with the aid of a handmade saw. They are caught, tied up, abused, and after five days taken to Paramaribo by boat.

Meyer had two prisoners shot
There they are questioned by Territorial Commander Meyer, who has two of the prisoners shot. The official announcement says they were shot while fleeing. After the war, it turns out they were shot while handcuffed and at short range by five bullets from behind. In the Netherlands, it is decided to not prosecute Meyer.
