Quote #10

The [Museum of Imperialist Occupation] documents all atrocities committed by Americans against the Korean people during the war. (11.38)

This is still a touchy subject, made even touchier by the fact that this museum sensationalizes the atrocities beyond belief. They show images of American soldiers forcing Korean children to drink motor oil and nailing propaganda to a Korean person’s forehead. We can only hope these things didn’t happen on either side—though if the past is any indicator, things probably got pretty atrocious.
