Wow, it is amazing to see all the ways that people and cultures are interconnected through the process of war/ conquering and living. All of the many connecting layers that exist between the Asian countries and the USA is fascinating to me. And the different perspectives… often times in history we are only given the story of the victorious and the story of the other side is left unsaid. I think it is important for students to know and understand those connections because it will help them to understand why certain events happen.

I was really surprised to see that the Comfort Women in Korea were still protesting what had been done to them all those many years ago. They seem determined to not let the crime against them be forgotten despite that the time that has passed. And they are vocal about the event they are not at home complaining amongst each other. It is almost like they are constantly reminding the rest of the world and saying while you have forgiven Japan we have not.
