In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore, the National Museum of Singapore commissioned a series of animated gifs as part of the Witness To War: Remembering 1942 exhibition. The illustrations were based on Singaporean war hero Lim Bo Seng’s story, highlighting a lesser-known side of him and his profound love for his family as revealed through his personal diary.
