Comfort Women statue masquerade
The City Council of Brookhaven, Georgia approved the
placement of a Comfort Women statue in one of their city parks. This approval happened after the statue
and/or cement base was already in place at the park.
The park victimized by this hunk of junk statue is a small
one surrounded by condominiums and apartments.
The neighborhood association was not informed by the city council
concerning the placement of this statue, it was done in secret. The neighborhood association threatened a
lawsuit because of this subterfuge in addition they pay $20,000 a year for the
maintenance of the park.
Ignoring the neighborhood associations concern, the city
placed the statue and held an unveiling ceremony on June 30th,
2017. Soon after the city council
announced the statue would be moved to another park. Their weak reasoning was in the new park the
statue would gain greater visibility, never mentioning the true intention was
to avoid a lawsuit. Another residual of
the move would be bullying of students of Japanese heritage in the local
schools.
The current park is an isolated one surrounded by apartment
/ condominium buildings as an open grass space.
Very little chance of people just coming upon the statue who do not live
in the surrounding buildings. The new
location is a larger park with tennis courts, baseball fields, and a soccer
field. All of which attract students who
most likely would read the Japan bashing inflammatory inscription placed on the
cement slab next to the statue.
The inscription reads as follows:
“Young Girl’s Statue for Peace
This memorial honors the girls and women, euphemistically
called “Comfort Women,” who were enslaved by the Japanese Imperial Armed Forces
from 1931 to 1945.
The Comfort Women constitute one of the largest known cases
of human trafficking in the 20th century with estimates ranging up to the
hundreds of thousands. This dark history
was hidden for decades until the 1990s, when the survivors courageously broke
their silence.
The Comfort Women are from at least thirteen Asian-Pacific
countries, principally from Korea. Most
died or were killed during World War II.
This memorial is dedicated to the memory of these girls and
women and to the crusade to eradicate sexual violence and sex trafficking
throughout the world.
We will never forget.
We will teach the truth.”

The inscription is not accurate.
The Comfort Worman was just well-paid prostitute.
Some were deceived by a dealer or sold to parents, but many of the comfort women were attracted by high salary and applied.
In the fact, they were mainly japanese, It is obvious wrong that they were mainly Koreans.
The reason why this problem became apparent in the 1990s was they said easy to lie, because the people who knows the fact in 1940's was retired form first line of society.
Originally, Koreans do not matter how the facts were. They
insist that history of their own desire is "a proper history".
The writer of this inscription knows that it is not true that
what is written here. So, it is dare to say "We will never
forget. We will teach the truth."
