In this powerful episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy sits down with Jenny Chan, co-founder of Pacific Atrocities Education, to uncover a side of World War II history that’s often overlooked—and why it matters today more than ever.
What began with discovering her grandmother’s wartime artifacts turned into a mission to document forgotten atrocities in Asia and challenge the narratives we’ve been taught. Jenny shares how history, when incomplete, can shape how we think, lead, and make decisions in the present.
This conversation goes beyond history—it’s about truth, awareness, and the responsibility we carry to learn, question, and lead with intention.
