"Jan Ruff-O'Herne, Who Told of Wartime Rape by the Japanese, Dies at 96"
Council President - Colleagues -
I would like to adjourn this meeting in honor of Jan Ruff-O¡¯Herne.
Jan was a survivor -
An advocate -
And a hero for victims of sexual slavery everywhere.
Jan was born in 1923 in the Dutch East Indies -
A former colony of the Dutch Empire.
War broke out during her childhood -
And during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies -
Jan and thousands of other Dutch women -
were forced into prisoner-of-war camps.
Jan become one of the hundreds of thousands of comfort women -
During World War II -
Who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army.
During her time in these camps -
Jan was abused -
Denied her freedom -
And contact with her family.
But Jan survived on hope -
And the support of the other women who were also being victimized.
Following the War - and Jan¡¯s liberation -
She stayed silent for many years. (P)
Like many comfort women - she lived in shame -
And as a result - the world nearly forgot what happened to these women.
But in 1992 - Jan decided to speak out - and share her story -
publishing a memoir titled ¡°50 Years of Silence¡±.
Jan¡¯s courage to speak out -
Made her a hero to the many survivors who had been living in silence. (P)
She testified before Congress -
Worked with the Human Rights Commission -
And was recognized by Australia¡¯s Prime Minister -
For her leadership in fighting to honor her fellow victims.
Jan¡¯s story is a profile in courage - resilience - and strength. (P)
It is also an example - of how wide-spread the comfort women system was.
Hundreds of thousands of women - from nations across Asia -
Including Dutch women like Jan -
Were forced into bondage - and sexual slavery during this war.
These women suffered unspeakable trauma -
And exhibited incredible courage in sharing their truth. (P)
Their history should never be forgotten -
And their work to recognize and honor the comfort women victims -
Should not die in vain. (PAUSE)
Jan Ruff O¡¯Herne died surrounded by loved ones on August 19th of this year-
She is survived by her daughters -
Eileen and Carol.
She will be missed -
And she will be remembered.
May she rest in peace.
