| Opmerkingen |
Wijktoko Tjideng was the canteen cooperative operating within Camp Tjideng, a Japanese-run civilian internment camp in Batavia that held primarily Dutch and Indo-European women and children. At its peak the camp was grotesquely overcrowded — several thousand internees crammed into a residential neighborhood originally built for a fraction of that population. The canteen scrip was a practical necessity: the Japanese administration permitted limited internal commerce, and camp-issued notes allowed basic goods to change hands without internees handling Japanese occupation currency directly.
These notes were printed within the camp, almost certainly on whatever paper and equipment could be requisitioned. Survival rate is low — not from heavy circulation, but because many were deliberately destroyed by internees in the final days before liberation, fearing reprisals if found holding unauthorized documents.
