On Aug. 6 & 9, 1945, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

The Korean A-Bomb Victims' Association estimates 100,000 of the 700,000 killed or injured by the bombs were Korean.

Korean A-bomb survivors are still fighting for justice. This is their story.

Little known fact: 1 in 4 people killed immediately by the US atomic bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki were Koreans.

Korean A-bomb survivors have struggled for decades against the Flag of South Korea, Flag of Japan&Flag of United States govts. What do they want? Recognition, reparations, & US denuclearization. Thread:

Many of the conscripted laborers in Hiroshima were from a single town in Korea: Hapcheon, Gyeongsangnam-do. As a result, ~70% of Korean victims of atomic bombing are from Hapcheon. As recently as five years ago, over 600 survivors were living in that town. https://hani.co.kr/arti/area/area_general/744929.html

Hapcheon has a memorial for the Korean victims of atomic bombings. (Photo shows the names of each victim.) It also has a dedicated center for the atomic bombing survivors who still live in the town, and holds annual memorial event on Hiroshima Day.

TW: Graphic image

In WWII, 5 - 7 million Koreans were conscripted as forced laborers throughout Japan's empire. 670,000 Koreans were sent to Japan to work in shipyards, arms factories, mines, farms, or as "comfort women."

In 1945, 80,000 Koreans lived in Hiroshima and at least 30,000 in Nagasaki. Most Hiroshima Koreans worked in war-related industries or farmed small plots after having lost their own land in Korea.

As colonial subjects, Koreans experienced widespread social discrimination, poverty, and lived in segregated neighborhoods. These factors contributed to their high rates of radiation exposure and death.

50,000 Koreans died in the atomic bombings or shortly after.

Most of the 43,000 survivors returned to Korea. The Korea Atomic Bomb Casualty Association estimates 60% of survivor-returnees died of radiation-related illness or in the Korean War.

Survivors have faced many challenges in S. Korea.

The ROK govt ignored survivors for decades. Many survivors & their children were disabled & unable to work or afford medical care. 20% of 2nd & 3rd-gen descendants of survivors have congenital deficiencies & hereditary diseases.

In 1957 Japan began to offer medical benefits to atomic bomb survivors, but excluded Koreans.

Korean A-bomb survivors "illegally" crossed borders, filed lawsuits, and fought for decades to receive legal and medical rights in Japan. Some are still fighting to be recognized.

The Taft-Katsura Agreement Thread

In 1905, the US struck a deal with the Japan to recognize each other’s respective claims to Korea and the Philippines — thereby consenting to Japan’s later colonization of Korea from 1910-1945.

The Taft–Katsura Agreement completely violated the Joseon-US Treaty of 1882.

In Article I of the treaty, the US and Korea agreed to provide each other with mutual defense in case of aggression or attack from another power.

It's really important to mention. Because the most of Japanese history text book purposely doesn't notice Joseon-the U.S treaty at all. Even back in early 80"s, I was never taught about the treaty at Japanese school. I believe getting much worse these days.

Commonly called the “seal of Korea’s death warrant”, The Taft-Katsura Agreement was a precursor to the later 1905 Japan-Korea Protectorate Treaty which led to Great Britain consenting to Japan's colonization of Korea under the guise of “protection”.

Korean comfort women

Press F to pay respects

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-47042684

The coffin passed the Japanese embassy in Seoul, accompanied on its final journey by mourners waving banners and holding yellow butterflies.

Cries of "Japan must apologise" rang out above the crowd, while others quietly sobbed.

It was not your usual funeral procession. But then, Kim Bok-dong was not your usual woman, and this was her final act of resistance against a country which had stolen so much from her.

Kim was one of thousands of so-called "comfort women" rounded up by the Japanese army and forced to work as sex slaves for years on end.

She died on Monday, at the age of 92, without ever receiving the apology she wanted; still railing against the injustice; still angry with Japan for taking the life she could and should have had.

"I was born a woman," she said, "but I never lived as a woman."

'I had to comply'
It took Kim Bok-dong almost 40 years to find the strength to tell her story.

She was just 14 when the Japanese soldiers arrived at her family's home in Yangsan, South Gyeongsang. They said she was needed to work in a factory. If she did not come, they warned her mother, the family would suffer.

But Kim was not taken to work in a factory. Instead, the teenager found herself transported to one of hundreds of "comfort stations" set up by the Japanese Imperial Army across the territory it had seized.

These "stations" were, in reality, brothels where some estimate as many as 200,000 women were forced to work as sex slaves.

Kim, who should still have been in school, was among them.

Her young age did not go unnoticed after she arrived in China.

"When they found out I was only 14, they talked among themselves saying 'Isn't she too young?'," she told YouTube channel Asian Boss during an interview in October 2018.

Apparently, it was not a problem. She was sent to start work.

"The first time, I got dragged into one of the rooms and beaten up a bit," she recalled. "So I had to comply."

Afterwards, she said, the bed sheets were covered in blood. It was too much to bear, and she decided there was only one way out.

Using the little money she had been given by her mother, she and two others convinced a cleaner to buy them a bottle of the strongest alcohol they could find.

They drank until they passed out, but it wasn't enough. The three girls were found, and their stomachs were pumped.

When Kim finally woke up, she made a choice - no matter what happened, she would live to tell the tale.

'How could I tell anyone?'
The Japanese Imperial Army first introduced the idea of "comfort stations" in the early 1930s. It was supposed to stop their soldiers going on "raping sprees", and keep them free of sexually transmitted diseases.

In the beginning, it is thought they used prostitutes. But as Japan's military grew, so did demand. Eventually, they turned to slavery.

The men, Kim Bok-dong later recalled, would line up outside, waiting their turn.

Presentational grey line
Weekends were particularly dreadful. On Saturdays, she would work for six hours, the men arriving one after the other. On Sundays, it was nine hours.

Sometimes she would see almost 50 men in a day. Some days, she lost count. By the time her "shift" ended, she could barely stand up or walk.

Kim was moved from station to station, and in 1945 she found herself in Singapore. The Japanese began to move Kim and the other comfort women out of the brothels. Kim found herself working as a nurse, still waiting for rescue.

It was 1947 when she was finally brought home to South Korea. She didn't know how long she had been gone; she also didn't know how to find the words to explain what had happened to her.

"How could I have told them about my experiences?" she asked. "I had things done to me that were unfathomable."

She wasn't alone in her silence, as the University of Connecticut's Alexis Dudden explains.

"I think her history following her return to Korea is a really good explanation of the double victimisation of those who survived," the history professor said. "There was not space in this society for the women to go public."

Kim did find her voice though, a few years after her return. Her mother wanted her to marry, and she felt she had to explain why she would not.

"I confessed that, given all the abuse done to my body, I didn't want to screw up another man's life," she told Asian Boss.

Her mother, she said, became distressed. Unable to share her daughter's secret, she died shortly afterwards of a heart attack. Kim believed it was the pain of the secret which killed her.

'It's not about money'
It would take decades for Kim Bok-dong to talk again about what happened to her. She moved to Busan, where she ran a successful fish restaurant.

And then Kim Hak-sun came forward, sharing her own story of being imprisoned as a "comfort woman" by the Japanese in China - the first South Korean victim to break her silence so publicly. It was 1991. By March 1992, Kim Bok-dong had come forward to tell the world her account.

"She had incredible strength - she was a survivor," says Prof Dudden, who first met her more than two decades ago. "She came forward to tell her truth. That is when she makes her mark on the page."

Her story would not just impact her fellow survivors in South Korea, though. It would bring together survivors from around the world - including women in Vietnam who had been attacked by South Korean soldiers during the US war. In 2014, she set up The Butterfly Fund to support fellow victims.

"The survivors of sexual violence in conflict from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, address Kim Bok-dong... as 'our hero', 'our mama', and 'our hope'," a spokesman for The Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance for the Issues of Military Sexual Slavery by Japan recalls.

Kim did not just share her story. When she had money, she gave it. In 2015, she started a scholarship for children in conflict regions with her own money. The fact her own education had been cut so short was a regret until the end of her life. When it became clear she was dying of cancer in 2018, she began to give away what little money remained.

But through all this - speaking around the world, campaigning outside the Japanese embassy every Wednesday - she still did not get the apology she felt she and the other victims deserved.

She was derisive of the 2015 deal between the Japanese and South Korea, which saw her former captors pay 1bn yen ($8.3m, £5.6m) to fund victims.

What Kim wanted - what she was fighting for - was a full admission of guilt. Some still allege the women were not forced to work in the stations.

"We won't accept it even if Japan gives 10bn yen. It's not about money. They're still saying we went there because we wanted to," Kim told lawmakers in 2016.

South Korea's President Moon Jae-In has since said he will renegotiate the fund, focusing more on the victims.

But it came too late for Kim. As she lay taking her final breaths, she expressed "strong anger" towards Japan, her friend Yoon Mee-Hyang told reporters. As Prof Dudden puts it, she "died screaming".

But her legacy will not be lost. In among the crowd at her funeral was Kim Sam, 27, who first met Kim "sitting up straight even in the rain as she spoke about her struggle".

"Upright, dignified - that's how she always was, first as a victim and later as a human rights activist," she recalled.

"She's a role model I respect the most."

"Jan" Ruff O'Herne (born 18 January 1923)[1] is a Dutch Australian human rights activist known for her vocal campaigns and speeches against war rape. During World War II, O'Herne was among young women forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army. Fifty years after the end of the war, O'Herne decided to speak out publicly to demand a formal apology from the Japanese government and to highlight the plight of other "comfort women".

He criticized his father's seizure of power from Sun Zhongshan in a poem, “Pity that there are frequent storms up there; It is not wise to climb all the way to the top floor of a mansion.”[2] Yuan Kewen was under house arrest after the years he spent away from Beijing in Tianjin and Shanghai. During this time, the young Luke was raised by his mother in the then-provincial Anyang village in Henan. Yuan would make trips with his mother, sister, and two brothers every New Year's

Japan's only invention in the entire Karayuki-san period (the period between the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate and America occupying them) was inventing MSG.

Chinese scientists participated in the initial American missile program and atomic bomb development in the Manhattan project. Qian Xuesen helped work on America's rockets and worked on China's missile program and both Qian Xuesen and Chien-Shiung Wu worked on the Manhattan project. She helped build the bombs which were dropped on Japan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chien-Shiung_Wu

>Chien-Shiung Wu (simplified Chinese: 吴健雄; traditional Chinese: 吳健雄; pinyin: Wú Jiànxióng; May 31, 1912 – February 16, 1997) was a Chinese-American experimental physicist who made significant contributions in the field of nuclear physics. Wu worked on the Manhattan Project, where she helped develop the process for separating uranium metal into uranium-235 and uranium-238 isotopes by gaseous diffusion. She is best known for conducting the Wu experiment, which contradicted the hypothetical law of conservation of parity. This discovery resulted in her colleagues Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang winning the 1957 Nobel Prize in physics, and earned Wu the inaugural Wolf Prize in Physics in 1978. Her expertise in experimental physics evoked comparisons to Marie Curie. Her nicknames include "the First Lady of Physics", "the Chinese Madame Curie", and the "Queen of Nuclear Research".[1]

https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/1419748433934573570 On July 26, 1950, the No Gun Ri Massacre began. For three days, US soldiers butchered 400 Korean refugees hiding in a tunnel. The US and South Korea denied this history until 1999. No Gun Ri is just the most famous of 200 reported civilian massacres by US troops in the south. Thread https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/1419748814861254657 As US & S Korean soldiers fled south in the early days of the war, US commanders ordered troops to treat refugees inside battle zones as “enemy agents.”

According to a 7/25/1950 Air Force memo by Col. Turner Rogers: "The army has requested we strafe all civilian refugee parties" https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/1419749796999487491
On July 25th, US troops evacuated hundreds from No Gun Ri and surrounding villages.

The next day, the refugees were stopped at a railroad bridge and ordered onto the tracks where soldiers searched them for weapons. Afterwards, US warplanes shot and bombed the resting villagers. https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/1419749801839714309 Afterwards, US soldiers corralled the survivors into the tunnel and shot at the people from both ends.
For the next two days, anyone seen moving in the tunnel was shot. Bullet holes from the massacre could still be seen on the bridge in 2000. https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/1419750361846489093 "They were checking every wounded person and shooting them if they moved" - Chung Ku Hun, survivor, age 17 in 1950

Over 30 petitions to South Korea & the US were filed in 40 years. All were ignored or denied until an Associated Press story based on 24 survivors + 12 soldiers’ accounts was published in 1999. https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/1419754389808553985 The No Gun Ri revelations sparked separate US & South Korean investigations. The US acknowledged the incident but claimed it had no prior knowledge of the massacre or evidence of orders to shoot. The South Korean report, along with later AP & CBS reporting, contradicted this. https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/1419754392509616128 The No Gun Ri revelations opened the floodgates to other Korean War survivors' testimonies, which had been suppressed by decades of US-backed fascism and the anti-free speech National Security Law.

No Gun Ri is the most famous US massacre from the Korean War, but it's not the only one.
No Gun Ri exposes the US myth of "saving" or "liberating" Korea. In practice, the US saw all Koreans as "gooks"— racially inferior threats to be controlled or eliminated. https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/1419754408271912960
The US adapted its anti-insurgency playbook from Korea to its wars in Vietnam, Iraq and beyond. Just as the victims and survivors of No Gun Ri deserve justice, so too do all victims of US imperialism. The only true justice for all is an end to this despicable empire. https://twitter.com/nodutdol/status/33972593732096000 When US realized their bullets didn't have enough firepower, they invested in R&D resulting in caliber 45. #crisisinasia
