2007

Synopsis: During the Japanese occupation of Korea in World War II, some 200,000 Korean women were kidnapped, deported, raped, beaten, killed and abandoned. Few escaped, and the survivors were left physically and psychologically wounded. In this book, young Korean author Jung Kyung-a tells the true story of these "comfort women", sent to Japanese army camps to serve as sex slaves. Femmes de réconfort retraces the poignant journeys of a Japanese doctor in charge of the prisoners' health, a Dutch colonist's daughter and a young Korean woman, the latter two still alive today. While remaining precise and well-documented, this story now exposes the reality of this tragedy to a wider public through the medium of comics.
