Singapore Changi Chapel and Museum
Changi Prison is the site of the World War II POW camp. Many
Allied detainees from the World War II, became prisoners and were
subjected to cruel and horrific conditions.
Since the relocation of the Changi Prison, in 2001, the prison is now
a chapel and museum. The now Changi Museum is a collection of
artefacts, materials and pictures of the daily lives of the Prisoners
of War (POW). The Changi Museum is used worldwide as resource centre
and educational source of the aspects of World War II.
The Changi Chapel and Museum also contains unique and 
architecturally
beautiful exterior surroundings. Outside the court yard of the chapel
is replicas of the many chapels. These chapels, in the time of the
World War II conflict and now are an inspirational reminder of the
great efforts it took to overcome the tyranny of the Japanese rule.
Many of the Changi Chapels adornments like the Brass Cross are
poignant remainders of a horrific war. The Brass Cross is 
made of
spent ammunition casings, from the valiant World War II soldiers'
guns. The Chapel has also created the board of remembrance and many
relatives of fallen soldiers' have pinned messages for the dead.
The Changi Museum has been shown the true cruelties of Prisoner Of War
camps. More than 3 years of history and stories of 50,000 civilians
and soldiers are held within its walls. 
Great displays of Letters,
drawings, artefacts and many effects of prisoners tell the tale of the
War and triumph over adversity.
Inside the Prisoner of War camps, the soldiers had to struggle against
hunger, disease humiliation and death, along with trying to maintain
the strength to survive.
There are many Murals, on the walls of the
Changi chapel. The most memorable of these is painted by the
Bombardier Stanley Warren.
Stanley Warren used camouflage paint, crushed snooker chalk and
aircraft paints to paint Bible scenes. Many of the tools prisoners
like Stanley Warren used were smuggled in by fellow Prisoners of War.
Their faith and belief in God and country, kept these men alive
through all the horrors that War, entails. Strong Men that have
survived through the World War II strife's have made it through
forgiving their keepers, but never forgetting the pain and struggle
the Prisoners of War had to endure.
The Changi Museum and Chapel also utilizes screenings of videos, books
and literature, to relate the life of the civilians and the Prisoners
of War.
