How did the nurses describe liberation when it finally came to Santa Tomas in early February of 1945?

And what was it like for the nurses to get their freedom back?

Finally, and sadly, all of these nurses have passed away.

Do you think there's a lesson in all of this that they would want us to know?

That's beautiful.
