I feel so sad for Grandma Ha. She didn't contact her family in Korea after she escaped hell because she couldn't bear to admit to them how she survived. But I can only imagine how much her mother must've longed to find out what happened to her missing daughter who she never heard from again. Part of me hopes that she could still find a way to reconnect with any existing family she still has in Korea. I am sure they would welcome her back with open arms.
Most of these comfort women were from china, korea, and southeast asia countries. sadly in my country, Indonesia, the government never brought this truth towards the light. its 2020 and still no apology towards these women.

Is it that hard for Japanese Govt. & policy makers to publicly acknowledge or apologize for the war crime that was committed during WWII?? All these "Comfort Woman' wanted/want is a sincere apology. :(
Many Korea dealers who came closer to the military while grinning. Exploitation from the women. th-cam.com/video/R3mfU3yNvYc/w-d-xo.html Before and after the Korean War, are there any cases of Japan military reports from Korea soldiers and prostitutes to the United Nations Command center? th-cam.com/video/Vu6TBamZCao/w-d-xo.html Will you show us now? Nothing? Nobody? No one? th-cam.com/video/o6xCs9joyiU/w-d-xo.html Do you have a grudge against Korea scholars, teachers and ancestors who just lies to citizens? Yes, it is Korea culture that lasts from ancient times.

Many war victims have passed on, but crimes against humanity and massacre of over 50K Chinese in Nanjing are never forgotten. My heart ache listened to these women' stories; May they found peace
It's important to hear and recognize those that were fiercely oppressed and used. I appreciate hearing these woman's stories. I hope others hear and can pass on their past story.
I actually truly cannot express how genuinely underated this video actually is and this world actually genuinely needs more people actually like you in this world and this is actually the actual real Japan that the actual American and British BBC propaganda mainstream media actually don't show you is actually really like.
Saw a documentary many years ago about these courageous women and the horrors they went through. It is shameful that the Japanese have not acknowledge the suffering of these women and apologized to them.
this happened not only to korean women or Chinese but also to some Malaysian women as well..the inhumane cruelty .. wherever the Japanese soldiers went they dragged it along..the least Japan can do now is apologise and make it known to their young generation.. don't cover it up.. if the emperor was to blame or the WWll thn dont dip yourself ( Japanese government) in sin and disgrace anymore..
I was (still am) so interested in the Korean culture (I'm from southern part of India, from a state called Karnataka to be precise, and I saw a lot of similarities in the way we spoke and in some of the sayings and beliefs that Koreans have and follow) after watching a few K-Dramas and I slowly got into K-pop, and I was in no way aware of history of Korea or any other Asian country apart from India. I recently started getting the recommendations from TH-cam about Comfort Women, and watching this and reading about it makes my stomach churn. The pain the women and children and families went through...!!! This made me realize the effects of letting greed, lust, ego and anger taking over human mind and body. Every time I see these poor old ladies recollecting what happened to them, it makes me cry. I really hope they get the justice they deserve and that the women who have already passed will rest in peace knowing that justice has been served... 😞🙏😞🙏😞🙏
@@Dingo7423 , hi! 😊 I came across a few articles of Queen Heo Hwang Ok (I believe her real name is Suriratna)...

I don't think I would want to live in a house with such a horrible history before having some sort of demon-banishing and soul-liberating ceremonies done there.
THe case of a KOREAN camp follower " Kim Gun-ja" in the WW2 or the Korean War In 1993 a former Korean camp follower in the WW2 or in the Korean War " Kim Gun-ja " told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abducted by the Japanese military.
and even worse..than that. Imagine a young girl, not yet even a woman, raped so savagely she could--and did, bleed to DEATH. No one, man or woman can imagine what that was actually like, sure, we can "imagine" but a woman like this lived it.
There is a history of shame in every war...but the shame shouldn't be felt by the women...but by the MEN. How men can horrifically abuse a woman in such a way, then walk away without a second thought, boils my blood. WHERE are the decent men, the brave men, the men that should rescue a woman from such horror? Evidently...there isn't any.
"but the shame shouldn't be felt by the women...but by the MEN. " YES and they (men) should be also talking about this, apolagising, and enduring the consequences of their actions.
50,000 Vietnamese Women raped by South Korean soldiers during the Vietnam war and 20,000 mixed children with South Korean soldiers are still awaiting apology from South Korean's government and South Korean people. Campaign group urges recognition for women affected by sexual violence of South Korean troops and the children born as a result Totally 320,000 South Korean soldiers were deployed to Vietnam to fight alongside the US between 1964 and 1973, but the story of the country’s involvement in the conflict is largely untold. South Korea has never acknowledged claims of sexual violence allegedly perpetrated by its troops against thousands of women and girls, some as young as 12 - or the children born as a result. Are there mixed children between Japanese soldiers and locan women during the WW2 ????????Why are there 20,000 mixed children between Korean soldiers and Vietnamese women during the Vietnam War ??????
Kim Hak-sun’s family was poor, so Kim Hak-sun stopped going to school. To earn some money, she did babysitting and maid’s work. She was adopted by Kim Tae-won, who sent her to a school for kisaeng (entertainer-prostitutes) when she was 14, for three years. In the spring of 1939, when Kim Hak-sun was 17, her adoptive father convinced her and another girl named Emiko, who was one year her senior, to go with him to China, “where you can make a lot of money.” Kim Hak-sun states clearly that she became a kisaeng because her family was poor. When I discussed her case with the Bungei Shunju editors, we agreed that it was similar to those of young Japanese women who were sold into prostitution by their parents. But how can anyone claim Kim was abducted?
A well-known and famous best seller book published in USA ,Korea and Japan titled " So Far from the Bamboo Grove" written by Ms. Yoko Kawashima Watkins in 1986 proved so many refugees of Japanese women from the northern part of the Korean peninsula and Manchuria to Japan were raped by northern Korean men after the end of WW2 . The Soviet Union's soldiers raped many Japanese women too, but the worst cases were by Korean men in the northern part of the Korean peninsula being supported by the Communist Soviet Union.
Lee Ok-seon (Former Korean camp follower in the WW2),92 years old in 2019, who worked at several brothels during the WW2 at the age of 16 after being abducted by two KOREAN MEN not by Japanese soldiers and the Japanese, testified that at age 12 she received a sound beating from her own father for asking to be sent to a Kisaeng (prostitute)school. Such narratives do not exonerate Korea and its patriarchal system of oppressing their own women and girls long before the Japanese drafted them into the women's volunteer labor corps to "support efforts in aircraft manufacturing and other essential industries. The former Korean camp follwer women told the truth as much as their memories allowed, especially only in their early published testimonies, indicting mostly Japan, but also Korea. Whatever may have been the motives of some Korean shameless activists organization (The Korean Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan)who are supported by Communist China and North Korea to demonize and blame Japan with a fabricated fiction and "coach" the former camp followers,they don't notice at all they were and still are manipulated for a maliciuos and mere political tool to blame and defame Japan with lies and fabricated fiction.
The South Korean activist group Chong Dae Hyup (Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery) is closely related to North Korea. For example, Yun Mi-Hyang (Chairwoman) was investigated for working with North Korea in 2013. Kim Sam-Suk (Yun Mi-Hyang’s husband) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 1993. Kim Eun-Ju (Kim Sam-Suk’s sister) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 1993. Choi Gi-Yong (Kim Eun-Ju’s husband) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 2006. Lee Seok-Gi (member) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 2013. Westerners must realize that North Korean operatives are using the comfort women issue to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership. The U.S. military interrogated hundreds of Korean POWs who belonged to the Japanese Army. They frequented comfort stations, and the following was what they said about Korean comfort women.
Judge overseeing Yoon Mee-hyang case is found dead Wednesday November 11,2020 A senior judge overseeing the criminal case against Rep. Yoon Mee-hyang, the former head of the Korean Council accused of embezzling public donations meant for wartime sexual slavery victims, died suddenly on Tuesday just ahead of the first trial, Seoul police said Wednesday.
Lee Dae-yeon, a 54-year-old senior judge on the Seoul Western District Court, was found dead around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday night, Gangnam police said. He had collapsed in the restroom of a building in Samseong-dong in Gangnam District, southern Seoul, in the midst of a dinner with a group of fellow judges at a nearby restaurant.
Emergency responders performed CPR on Lee, who was then transferred to a nearby general hospital where he was pronounced dead at 11:20 p.m.
It's sad that my high school history book didn't include more information about comfort women. Every time I hear about comfort women, I have so many mixed feelings for Japan. (Well, I had Japanese classmates and they're very nice so I have nothing against them) My heart goes out to all these poor women and those innocent people who suffered in WWII😢😢 Pray for world peace and please don't let the same horror reenact ever again. I'm very thankful to be born in the 21st century. To those who called them prostitutes, they didn't volunteered to do this, they were lured and forced into doing these horrible things. Clearly, people calling them prostitutes are either brainwashed or ashamed to admit that their country has done it. Also to people who take rape as a joke, wanna know how it feels to be violated? It feels like someone forcefully shoving a cactus down your genitals >:-)
We don't hate the Japanese who personally did no wrong to our ancestors. What we are angry about is the lack of remorse and official full apology from the Japanese govt! They are just waiting for all victims to die off and remove all its wrong doings from history!!! The have no courage at all to do what gemrnay did!!
@@emilyho5075 it shouldn't but look what the Japanese has been doing? They refuse to apologise officially and fully and refuse to tell their citizens what really happened!
@@theflipside2709 Yea, shame on them :/ Honestly, acknowledging and educating the citizens about what they've committed is decent enough as form of apology. Sadly, they decided not to do any of that. I'm sure karma will settle its business...
unbelievably, sad what these poor woman went through... Nasty! Beyond nasty!!! Bad form for not granting these innocent woman the peace they deserve, All they want is formal apology from their aggressors! Instead, their government makes money deal with the aggressor! That's awful disrespect to all these victims of war! We are always told, that these people have high honor! more like a disgraced of war!... They should definitely apologize formally war or no war, event if it's just redeem those who created this unbelievable situation. I am sure every ancestors are furious that their off spring could of been so cruel and be so disgraceful to all these innocent young women. Hopefully this beautiful soul will find peace and have her apologies before she dies... There you go, History at it's best! History is just a series of worst of times! Discovery brought on wars, which brought pillage, murder, theft, total destruction to the any unsuspecting natives. Some barely survive and are mark for life or end up dead because of greed or worst! That's what history is all about!!! Not impress!!! Not at all!!! HUMANS!!!
The case of a KOREAN camp follower " Kim Sun-ok"b in the WW2 or the Korean War In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University , one of former Korean camp follower women in the WW2 or in the Korean War Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese army. Even UN Special Rapprteur Radhika Coomarswamy doesn't deny that lie even now in the world. This's one of notorious hypocrisies of the United Nations !!!!!!!!!!
Such sadness... These young girls and women were treated so barbarically. No matter the nationality it appears girls, young women and older women have been treated without conscience all over the world. Modern times haven't changed this.
Despite everything all they need is an appology from Japanese government which acknowledge their pain and tortured life during Japanese imperialism invasion... But even thats too hard to do, what a hipocrite
An apology and more importantly.. teaching their future generations about what their nation did in the past...the way the Germans do.. so they won't say it never happen and take the mistake lightly...😢
I know. even if are not Koreans it's important for us as a girls to stand out for the comfort women. what Japan did for then could never be forgiven. but seriously the whole world and the women around the world is waiting for Japan to apologize.😶😶😶
My grandparents were killed by Japanese and my mother doesn’t know when they were killed. They could been taken to the 731 Ecological test site in China. If you read this type 731 in TH-cam. Whole world need to know. Comfort woman ( 13 years old ). Do you call that woman? How sad.
I think is time for what I have seen from Sound of Freedom is that Jackie Chan should play Father Chen, it is a Chinese Catholic Priest who save a life of a Chinese Comfort girl from the Japanese military.
I'm writing this message with tears, because of my health condition, the doctor told me this morning that i will not survive my health condition due to my cancer diagnosing, so i have decided to offer my fund to the orphanage children, homeless less privilege there in your country to enable them to always pray for me even am if I'm know more alive as the doctor has told me that i can not survive my health condition your assistance is greatly needed
If Japan gov refused to include their war crimes into their school history, we ought to make friends with Japanese ppl. If they feel our genuine friendship, they will accept the truth when we share with them. Americans also helped to prevent Japanese war criminals like their emperor from punishment.
Japan must proceed the apologyse toward the korean and chineses for the crime of the human right were committed by the japanese invasion.during the world war 2.
Nobody is talking about this in western world if the Japanese were muslims it would be 24/7 on tv in the whole world. Man these poor woman i feel so angry and sorry.
Just reading comments in this videos. Whether they were actually comfort women them self or not is irrelevant. I don't know what is the purpose of people commenting on them being scammers or not. We all know, at least in countries where we learned history, what Japanese did during the war. I am certain Japanese soldiers raped women, and they were as bad as germans, at least in WWII. Others did it too I know, but... It makes me sick just reading about how these soldiers almost heroically gave those women opportunity to earn money. What the heck are you thinking making those comments, are you crazy? And to say it never happened. What?
The Japanese gov. May that this will go away. However the stain will remain upon humanity. The Japanese gov was in the wrong anyway whether these women were prostitutes (as the Japanese gov. once claimed) or not. I certainly would not want any child of mine encouraged to go visit a prostitute.
Not "prostitutes"! Savagely kidnapped and repeatedly gang raped for days, weeks, years....NO COMPENSATION!!! NOT PROSTITUTES!!!!! But even a "prostitute" should not be treated like that - most prostitutes have been sexually abused as children.....BY ADULT MALES!!!! Please don't judge....
South Koreans yell : The girl was forcibly taken away by the Japanese army! Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh was born in South Korea and graduated from Sogang University. She then moved to the United States and received her Ph.D. in anthropology from University of Hawaii. She is a professor of anthropology at San Francisco State University. Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh's book "The Comfort Women" is available on Amazon: goo.gl/fHi1Cp Here is a Wikipedia article on this book: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Comfort_Women You can read the first part of her book on Google Books: goo.gl/EfnGVX Here is an excellent review of the book: goo.gl/cwda3E In this book Professor Soh accuses the pro-North activist group "Korean Council" (also known as Chong Dae Hyup 정대협 挺対協) for spreading the North Korean propaganda to block reconciliation between Japan and South Korea. Contrary to common belief, most Korean women were sold by their parents to Korean businessmen who owned and operated comfort stations. The Korean women were not the sex slaves of the Japanese military. Professor Soh insists that Korean society must repudiate victimization, admit its complicity and accept that the system was not criminal. The following is an excerpt from her book "The Comfort Women." (Pages 10 - 11) ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Sun-ok In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir: "I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon." According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a prostitute in Korea after the war. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Hak-sun In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991) a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother. In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Geisha (Kiseng 기생) in Pyongyang and then sold me." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kim Gun-ja In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Lee Yong-soo In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121. In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Moon Pil-ki According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Kil Won-ok In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ According to several witnesses, Chong Dae Hyup (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abducted by the Japanese military." Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Chong Dae Hyup put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed." ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Sim Mi-ja A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Chong Dae Hyup's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup. They are swindlers" ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ Bae Chun-hee In an interview with Professor Park Yuha of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup. ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ In wars, soldiers sometimes rape innocent women. To prevent this from happening, the Japanese military asked businessmen to recruit prostitutes and operate comfort stations (brothels). The following is the order the Japanese military sent to comfort station operators. It says "Do not recruit women against thier will. Only recruit willing prostitutes." Japanese businessmen followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan. But Korean businessmen recruited both willing prostitutes and unwilling women in Korea. This is why some of former Korean comfort women are still unhappy while we hear little or no complaint from former Japanese comfort women. If Korean comfort station owners had followed the Japanese military's order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue. The Japanese military was partly guilty because its invasion into China and Southeast Asia did create the demand for comfort women. But the Korean narrative -- the Japanese military showed up at the doors and abducted young Korean women -- just didn't happen. The Korean brothel operators (comfort station owners) capitalized on the demand, recruited Korean women, operated comfort stations and made lots of money. Japan has apologized for its part. South Korea should admit its complicity and stop demanding Japan for more apologies.
America Protects Japan from War Crimes Charges because America Is Responsible. America CREATED Japan to Invade Korea, but Japan went against their Colonial Master. ONLY Korea Presses Charges... ALL the Asian and White English countries Deny it Happened. China, SE Asia, Japan, America, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada ALL say Korea is Jealous of Japan.
The problem of comfort women is the problem of all mankind. Comfort women on the side of the victory country are not reported. This represents human stupidity.
Destiny bestows upon some of us with great power and the opportunity to effect tremendous change, yet some of us blinded by hubris and delusions of grandeur, begin to develop a false sense of exceptionalism, that we are somehow exempt from being judged and held accountable for our actions and squander this opportunity to rise above ourselves, and then out of the blue, karma manifests itself and shames us before the entire world, for all to see. The recipient of 2 atomic bombs, numerous firebombings and leveling of vast swaths of major cities, the occupation by a foreign force and having no alternative but to accept humiliating concessions and terms of surrender, cut the pompous pipsqueak of an island nation down further to the size of a dormouse. Not to mention that the country that was once overrun and subjugated by marauding invaders has now transformed itself into a massive global powerhouse, dwarfing in economic and military strength an already dwarf nation. Funny, how time debases the arrogant. "Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all."
No, because we wanted our own way. He gave us rules to follow to protect us, but He also gave us the free will to decide whether or not to follow them. the natural consequences of a person's actions affect both them and the people around them.
God could have easily just created robots and not have to deal with all of the stupidity of humanity, but he gave us free will... Take responsibility for your actions and stop expecting something else to fix everything for you... People learn from their mistakes..
this happened not only to korean women or Chinese but also to some Malaysian women as well..the inhumane cruelty .. wherever the Japanese soldiers went they dragged it along..the least Japan can do now is apologise and make it known to their young generation.. don't cover it up.. if the emperor was to blame or the WWll thn dont dip yourself ( Japanese government) in sin and disgrace anymore..
We should call it for what it is: kidnapping and forced sexual enslavement. “Comfort women” is euphemistic and waters down the cruelty they endured 💔
I feel so sad for Grandma Ha. She didn't contact her family in Korea after she escaped hell because she couldn't bear to admit to them how she survived. But I can only imagine how much her mother must've longed to find out what happened to her missing daughter who she never heard from again. Part of me hopes that she could still find a way to reconnect with any existing family she still has in Korea. I am sure they would welcome her back with open arms.
My heart broke when she began to cry...
She looks so strong on the outside, but shes suffered so much...

Most of these comfort women were from china, korea, and southeast asia countries. sadly in my country, Indonesia, the government never brought this truth towards the light. its 2020 and still no apology towards these women.
Writing in 2020: Why hasn't Japan formally apologized to these women? It's long long overdue!
My family is against Japanese people because of what they did to my grandma
I had read in Wiki that the Japanese government had apologised.. No?

I don't think I would want to live in a house with such a horrible history before having some sort of demon-banishing and soul-liberating ceremonies done there.
Those women has no place to go, no relatives, friends...
THe case of a KOREAN camp follower " Kim Gun-ja" in the WW2 or the Korean War
In 1993 a former Korean camp follower in the WW2 or in the Korean War " Kim Gun-ja " told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father." Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military. Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abducted by the Japanese military.
this is worse than i thought...
and even worse..than that. Imagine a young girl, not yet even a woman, raped so savagely she could--and did, bleed to DEATH. No one, man or woman can imagine what that was actually like, sure, we can "imagine" but a woman like this lived it.
Ikr😢
There is a history of shame in every war...but the shame shouldn't be felt by the women...but by the MEN. How men can horrifically abuse a woman in such a way, then walk away without a second thought, boils my blood. WHERE are the decent men, the brave men, the men that should rescue a woman from such horror? Evidently...there isn't any.
"but the shame shouldn't be felt by the women...but by the MEN. " YES and they (men) should be also talking about this, apolagising, and enduring the consequences of their actions.
50,000 Vietnamese Women raped by South Korean soldiers during the Vietnam war and 20,000 mixed children with South Korean soldiers are still awaiting apology from South Korean's government and South Korean people.
Campaign group urges recognition for women affected by sexual violence of South Korean troops and the children born as a result
Totally 320,000 South Korean soldiers were deployed to Vietnam to fight alongside the US between 1964 and 1973, but the story of the country’s involvement in the conflict is largely untold. South Korea has never acknowledged claims of sexual violence allegedly perpetrated by its troops against thousands of women and girls, some as young as 12 - or the children born as a result.
Are there mixed children between Japanese soldiers and locan women during the WW2 ????????Why are there 20,000 mixed children between Korean soldiers and Vietnamese women during the Vietnam War ??????
Kim Hak-sun’s family was poor, so Kim Hak-sun stopped going to school. To earn some money, she did babysitting and maid’s work. She was adopted by Kim Tae-won, who sent her to a school for kisaeng (entertainer-prostitutes) when she was 14, for three years. In the spring of 1939, when Kim Hak-sun was 17, her adoptive father convinced her and another girl named Emiko, who was one year her senior, to go with him to China, “where you can make a lot of money.”
Kim Hak-sun states clearly that she became a kisaeng because her family was poor. When I discussed her case with the Bungei Shunju editors, we agreed that it was similar to those of young Japanese women who were sold into prostitution by their parents. But how can anyone claim Kim was abducted?
A well-known and famous best seller book published in USA ,Korea and Japan titled " So Far from the Bamboo Grove" written by Ms. Yoko Kawashima Watkins in 1986 proved so many refugees of Japanese women from the northern part of the Korean peninsula and Manchuria to Japan were raped by northern Korean men after the end of WW2 . The Soviet Union's soldiers raped many Japanese women too, but the worst cases were by Korean men in the northern part of the Korean peninsula being supported by the Communist Soviet Union.
The sound track is from Memoirs of a geisha...... yo-yo ma
Lee Ok-seon (Former Korean camp follower in the WW2),92 years old in 2019, who worked at several brothels during the WW2 at the age of 16 after being abducted by two KOREAN MEN not by Japanese soldiers and the Japanese, testified that at age 12 she received a sound beating from her own father for asking to be sent to a Kisaeng (prostitute)school.
Such narratives do not exonerate Korea and its patriarchal system of oppressing their own women and girls long before the Japanese drafted them into the women's volunteer labor corps to "support efforts in aircraft manufacturing and other essential industries.
The former Korean camp follwer women told the truth as much as their memories allowed, especially only in their early published testimonies, indicting mostly Japan, but also Korea. Whatever may have been the motives of some Korean shameless activists organization (The Korean Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan)who are supported by Communist China and North Korea to demonize and blame Japan with a fabricated fiction and "coach" the former camp followers,they don't notice at all they were and still are manipulated for a maliciuos and mere political tool to blame and defame Japan with lies and fabricated fiction.
It most definitely is a war crime. So sad and angry for all those women and girls and what they suffered...
The South Korean activist group Chong Dae Hyup (Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery) is closely related to North Korea. For example,
Yun Mi-Hyang (Chairwoman) was investigated for working with North Korea in 2013.
Kim Sam-Suk (Yun Mi-Hyang’s husband) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 1993.
Kim Eun-Ju (Kim Sam-Suk’s sister) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 1993.
Choi Gi-Yong (Kim Eun-Ju’s husband) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 2006.
Lee Seok-Gi (member) was arrested as a North Korean spy in 2013.
Westerners must realize that North Korean operatives are using the comfort women issue to drive a wedge into U.S.-Japan-South Korea security partnership.
The U.S. military interrogated hundreds of Korean POWs who belonged to the Japanese Army. They frequented comfort stations, and the following was what they said about Korean comfort women.
Divine Forgiveness, Clear and clean all suffering from the mind, body, soul of these women.
Forgive yes but Forget Never.
Judge overseeing Yoon Mee-hyang case is found dead
Wednesday November 11,2020
A senior judge overseeing the criminal case against Rep. Yoon Mee-hyang, the former head of the Korean Council accused of embezzling public donations meant for wartime sexual slavery victims, died suddenly on Tuesday just ahead of the first trial, Seoul police said Wednesday.
Lee Dae-yeon, a 54-year-old senior judge on the Seoul Western District Court, was found dead around 9:45 p.m. Tuesday night, Gangnam police said. He had collapsed in the restroom of a building in Samseong-dong in Gangnam District, southern Seoul, in the midst of a dinner with a group of fellow judges at a nearby restaurant.
Emergency responders performed CPR on Lee, who was then transferred to a nearby general hospital where he was pronounced dead at 11:20 p.m.
It's sad that my high school history book didn't include more information about comfort women. Every time I hear about comfort women, I have so many mixed feelings for Japan. (Well, I had Japanese classmates and they're very nice so I have nothing against them) My heart goes out to all these poor women and those innocent people who suffered in WWII😢😢 Pray for world peace and please don't let the same horror reenact ever again. I'm very thankful to be born in the 21st century.
To those who called them prostitutes, they didn't volunteered to do this, they were lured and forced into doing these horrible things. Clearly, people calling them prostitutes are either brainwashed or ashamed to admit that their country has done it. Also to people who take rape as a joke, wanna know how it feels to be violated? It feels like someone forcefully shoving a cactus down your genitals >:-)
We don't hate the Japanese who personally did no wrong to our ancestors. What we are angry about is the lack of remorse and official full apology from the Japanese govt! They are just waiting for all victims to die off and remove all its wrong doings from history!!! The have no courage at all to do what gemrnay did!!

Nasty! Beyond nasty!!! Bad form for not granting these innocent woman the peace they deserve, All they want is formal apology from their aggressors!
Instead, their government makes money deal with the aggressor!
That's awful disrespect to all these victims of war!
We are always told, that these people have high honor! more like a disgraced of war!... They should definitely apologize formally war or no war, event if it's just redeem those who created this unbelievable situation. I am sure every ancestors are furious that their off spring could of been so cruel and be so disgraceful to all these innocent young women.
Hopefully this beautiful soul will find peace and have her apologies before she dies...
There you go, History at it's best!
History is just a series of worst of times!
Discovery brought on wars, which brought pillage, murder, theft, total destruction to the any unsuspecting natives.
Some barely survive and are mark for life or end up dead because of greed or worst!
That's what history is all about!!!
Not impress!!! Not at all!!! HUMANS!!!
But Japanese have denied yet.
That is Japanese and Japanese are that.
All people of the world must know what Japanese are.
Japanese government dont teaches right history.

The case of a KOREAN camp follower " Kim Sun-ok"b in the WW2 or the Korean War
In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University , one of former Korean camp follower women in the WW2 or in the Korean War Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times. Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese army. Even UN Special Rapprteur Radhika Coomarswamy doesn't deny that lie even now in the world. This's one of notorious hypocrisies of the United Nations !!!!!!!!!!
She kept saying what's the point of telling her story again. I'm glad she did now it's here forever.
Such sadness... These young girls and women were treated so barbarically. No matter the nationality it appears girls, young women and older women have been treated without conscience all over the world. Modern times haven't changed this.
Despite everything all they need is an appology from Japanese government which acknowledge their pain and tortured life during Japanese imperialism invasion... But even thats too hard to do, what a hipocrite
@Fabian Kirchgessner liar!
@Fabian Kirchgessner they are asking for apology. Not money.
A lot of people don't realize this but the reason why Japan hasn't formally apologized is that they can get sued for it.
they can? why cant they be sued now?
Wait, huh? Is that true?
the way I see Japan as it is now has changed. it's so terrible of them💩 at least an apology would do for now. at least an apology.
The sad thing is that a lot won't even acknowledge it...they say these women volunteered to be prostitutes.
An apology and more importantly.. teaching their future generations about what their nation did in the past...the way the Germans do.. so they won't say it never happen and take the mistake lightly...😢
I know. even if are not Koreans it's important for us as a girls to stand out for the comfort women. what Japan did for then could never be forgiven. but seriously the whole world and the women around the world is waiting for Japan to apologize.😶😶😶
My grandparents were killed by Japanese and my mother doesn’t know when they were killed. They could been taken to the 731 Ecological test site in China.
If you read this type 731 in TH-cam. Whole world need to know. Comfort woman ( 13 years old ). Do you call that woman? How sad.
I know about this from my father‘s generation ... this is real ... very real ... this was a crime against humanity ...

I think is time for what I have seen from Sound of Freedom is that Jackie Chan should play Father Chen, it is a Chinese Catholic Priest who save a life of a Chinese Comfort girl from the Japanese military.

This will go into History
I wish it would. The Japanese government doesn't want others to hear about it so they don't even teach it in schools
THIS IS REALLY TERRIFYING
There where some Philipino comfort women too.

If Japan gov refused to include their war crimes into their school history, we ought to make friends with Japanese ppl. If they feel our genuine friendship, they will accept the truth when we share with them. Americans also helped to prevent Japanese war criminals like their emperor from punishment.
NO SORRYS For these atrocities.....or even accountability. Nope , and truly terrible.
I hate to see it , but Japan really committed this kind of war crimes and it should be remember on school books.
Japan must proceed the apologyse toward the korean and chineses for the crime of the human right were committed by the japanese invasion.during the world war

Nobody is talking about this in western world if the Japanese were muslims it would be 24/7 on tv in the whole world. Man these poor woman i feel so angry and sorry.
I hope China civilians are also speaking up against their government also today for humans right what they are doing to the Uighurs Muslims.
what happened to the rapist soldiers?
Nothing.... They went back to their homeland like nothing happened.
that is so sad to hear
They also made comfort women out of Asian women who were not Chinese.
Even Netherlands, Australia..
This makes me so fucking sad and angry!!!!!!!!!
Just reading comments in this videos. Whether they were actually comfort women them self or not is irrelevant. I don't know what is the purpose of people commenting on them being scammers or not. We all know, at least in countries where we learned history, what Japanese did during the war. I am certain Japanese soldiers raped women, and they were as bad as germans, at least in WWII. Others did it too I know, but... It makes me sick just reading about how these soldiers almost heroically gave those women opportunity to earn money. What the heck are you thinking making those comments, are you crazy? And to say it never happened. What?
Oh my!! Japanese government.....what is wrong with you?
Too coward to say sorry
The Japanese gov. May that this will go away. However the stain will remain upon humanity.
The Japanese gov was in the wrong anyway whether these women were prostitutes (as the Japanese gov. once claimed) or not. I certainly would not want any child of mine encouraged to go visit a prostitute.
Not "prostitutes"! Savagely kidnapped and repeatedly gang raped for days, weeks, years....NO COMPENSATION!!! NOT PROSTITUTES!!!!! But even a "prostitute" should not be treated like that - most prostitutes have been sexually abused as children.....BY ADULT MALES!!!! Please don't judge....

Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh was born in South Korea and graduated from Sogang University. She then moved to the United States and received her Ph.D. in anthropology from University of Hawaii. She is a professor of anthropology at San Francisco State University.
Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh's book "The Comfort Women" is available on Amazon: goo.gl/fHi1Cp
Here is a Wikipedia article on this book: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Comfort_Women
You can read the first part of her book on Google Books: goo.gl/EfnGVX
Here is an excellent review of the book: goo.gl/cwda3E
In this book Professor Soh accuses the pro-North activist group "Korean Council" (also known as Chong Dae Hyup 정대협 挺対協) for spreading the North Korean propaganda to block reconciliation between Japan and South Korea. Contrary to common belief, most Korean women were sold by their parents to Korean businessmen who owned and operated comfort stations. The Korean women were not the sex slaves of the Japanese military. Professor Soh insists that Korean society must repudiate victimization, admit its complicity and accept that the system was not criminal.
The following is an excerpt from her book "The Comfort Women." (Pages 10 - 11)
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Kim Sun-ok
In an interview with Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Kim Sun-ok said that she was sold by her parents four times.
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
A former Korean comfort woman Mun Oku-chu said in her memoir:
"I was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner. I saved a considerable amount of money from tips, so I opened a saving account. I could not believe that I could have so much money in my saving account. One of my friends collected many jewels, so I went and bought a diamond. I often went to see Japanese movies and Kabuki plays in which players came from the mainland Japan. I became a popular woman in Rangoon. There were a lot more officers in Rangoon than near the frontlines, so I was invited to many parties. I sang songs at parties and received lots of tips. I put on a pair of high heels, a green coat and carried an alligator leather handbag. I swaggered about in a fashionable dress. No one in town could guess that I was a comfort woman. I felt very happy and proud. I received permission to return home, but I didn't want to go back to Korea. I wanted to stay in Rangoon."
According to Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, Mun Oku-chu continued to work as a prostitute in Korea after the war.
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Kim Hak-sun
In an interview with Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh (the artcile was published on May 15th, 1991) a former Korean comfort woman Kim Hak-sun said that she was sold by her mother.
In 1993 Kim Hak-sun told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "My mother sent me to train as a Geisha (Kiseng 기생) in Pyongyang and then sold me."
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Kim Gun-ja
In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kim Gun-ja told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my foster father."
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
Kim Gun-ja also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007 and said she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Lee Yong-soo
In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Lee Yong-soo told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "At the time I was shabbily dressed and wretched. On the day I left home with my friend Kim Pun-sun without telling my mother, I was wearing a black skirt, a cotton shirt and wooden clogs on my feet. You don't know how pleased I was when I received a red dress and a pair of leather shoes from a Korean recruiter."
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
Lee Yong-soo also testified before United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2007. She was told that she had five minutes to speak. She ignored the instruction and went on for over one hour putting on a performance of crying and screaming. Her false testimony resulted in the passage of United States House of Representatives House Resolution 121.
In 2017 Lee Yong-soo gave false testimonies before San Francisco City Council, which resulted in the erection of a comfort women statue in that city.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Moon Pil-ki
According to Professor Chunghee Sarah Soh of San Francisco State University, a former Korean comfort woman Moon Pil-ki was recruited by a Korean comfort station owner's agent and taken to Manchuria with four other women.
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Kil Won-ok
In 1993 a former Korean comfort woman Kil Won-ok told Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University, "I was sold by my parents."
Yet she testified before UN Special Rapporteur Radhika Coomaraswamy that she was abducted by the Japanese military.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
According to several witnesses, Chong Dae Hyup (pro-North activist group) coached women to say "I was abducted by the Japanese military."
Professor Ahn Byong Jik of Seoul University says, "When I interviewed former comfort women in the early 1990s, none of them had anything bad to say about the Japanese military. They hated their parents who sold them and Korean comfort station owners who mistreated them. But after Chong Dae Hyup put them on its payroll, their testimonies had completely changed."
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Sim Mi-ja
A former Korean comfort woman Sim Mi-ja who refused to be on Chong Dae Hyup's payroll said, "The Korean women, who testified before UN Special Rapporteur, lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup. They are swindlers"
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Bae Chun-hee
In an interview with Professor Park Yuha of Sejong University in South Korea, a former Korean comfort woman Bae Chun-hee said she hated her father who sold her. She said that men who recruited Korean women and operated comfort stations were all Korean, and that Korean women who testified before UN Special Rapporteur lied on behalf of Chong Dae Hyup.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
In wars, soldiers sometimes rape innocent women. To prevent this from happening, the Japanese military asked businessmen to recruit prostitutes and operate comfort stations (brothels). The following is the order the Japanese military sent to comfort station operators. It says "Do not recruit women against thier will. Only recruit willing prostitutes." Japanese businessmen followed the order and only recruited willing women in Japan. But Korean businessmen recruited both willing prostitutes and unwilling women in Korea. This is why some of former Korean comfort women are still unhappy while we hear little or no complaint from former Japanese comfort women. If Korean comfort station owners had followed the Japanese military's order, there wouldn't have been any comfort women issue.
The Japanese military was partly guilty because its invasion into China and Southeast Asia did create the demand for comfort women. But the Korean narrative -- the Japanese military showed up at the doors and abducted young Korean women -- just didn't happen. The Korean brothel operators (comfort station owners) capitalized on the demand, recruited Korean women, operated comfort stations and made lots of money. Japan has apologized for its part. South Korea should admit its complicity and stop demanding Japan for more apologies.

Why does Japanese soldiers just used their own women and not those who were young innocent girls from different country? SHAME!
America Protects Japan from War Crimes Charges because America Is Responsible. America CREATED Japan to Invade Korea, but Japan went against their Colonial Master. ONLY Korea Presses Charges... ALL the Asian and White English countries Deny it Happened. China, SE Asia, Japan, America, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada ALL say Korea is Jealous of Japan.
Appalling, shameful ! 😢
The problem of comfort women is the problem of all mankind. Comfort women on the side of the victory country are not reported. This represents human stupidity.

Destiny bestows upon some of us with great power and the opportunity to effect tremendous change, yet some of us blinded by hubris and delusions of grandeur, begin to develop a false sense of exceptionalism, that we are somehow exempt from being judged and held accountable for our actions and squander this opportunity to rise above ourselves, and then out of the blue, karma manifests itself and shames us before the entire world, for all to see. The recipient of 2 atomic bombs, numerous firebombings and leveling of vast swaths of major cities, the occupation by a foreign force and having no alternative but to accept humiliating concessions and terms of surrender, cut the pompous pipsqueak of an island nation down further to the size of a dormouse. Not to mention that the country that was once overrun and subjugated by marauding invaders has now transformed itself into a massive global powerhouse, dwarfing in economic and military strength an already dwarf nation. Funny, how time debases the arrogant. "Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all."

There is No such thing as God, otherwise this atrocity would not have happened.

@@crash6951 Cant disagree with you on that. Question - why didnt he stop the human induced destruction? Dont tell me "he works in mysterious ways" eh?
No, because we wanted our own way. He gave us rules to follow to protect us, but He also gave us the free will to decide whether or not to follow them. the natural consequences of a person's actions affect both them and the people around them.
God could have easily just created robots and not have to deal with all of the stupidity of humanity, but he gave us free will... Take responsibility for your actions and stop expecting something else to fix everything for you... People learn from their mistakes..
