Hellfire Pass
Hellfire Pass, known locally as Chong Khao Kard and in Japanese as Konyu Cutting, is the name of a railway cutting on the former Burma Railway in Thailand, which was built with forced labour during World War II. More than 250,000 Southeast Asian civilians and 12,000 Allied soldiers built the railway line, including Hellfire Pass. The pass is noted for the harsh conditions and heavy loss of life suffered by its labourers during construction.
