Reparations were meted out by the treaty. Warcrimes were via the trials.

Generally this would be where this part of the discussion ends.

I'm sorry your family didn't get some of the monetary compensation, but shouldn't they be happy they escaped alive? And that the allies defended them by risking their own lives? Shouldn't they be happy that, despite not being a major power, they were defended just as vigilantly by the allies as they would defending their own families? That's what I take away from the Philippines and other South Pacific victims of Japanese expansionism. As for justice, those who were responsible for war crimes were prosecuted. It's probable that those responsible for what happened to your family were held responsible.
