KOREA. 2006. Comfort women. Kim Soon Ak. Born 1928.
She is the eldest child and only daughter of poor farmers. She remembers she was wearing a white top and black skirt when she was taken to work, as she was told, in a thread factory. She was taken on a 4 day journey to Mongolia and made to work in a sex station, aged 17.
On weekends, even when she had a period, she was made to have 20 to 30 soldiers who stood in line outside.
When she came home she learned her father had died of grief over loosing her.
Until the Comfort Women movement started she told no one of her past.
She still wishes she could have worn the wedding veil.
