Japan Should Apologize Politely to Koreans Who Were Forced to Labor During World War II

Created by N.K. on August 18, 2016

During WWII, Korea was under Japan colonial era. During the period, Japan killed a large number of Koreans (about 5.4 million), where Korea had a small population. They used Korean women for enforced sex slave, men were called with the bullet bearer of the battle field of Japan and also were forced to labor in severe situations, and elderly people and babies were even killed because they were not useful. Korea was liberated on Aug 15, 1945, and still, Japan does not recognize their fault and they say that the forced labor never happened. There are victims who can prove about Japan's distortion of history and this is clearly violation of human rights. Japan must admit the forced labor during WWII and apologize to the victims who are now alive and dead.
