They have waited 75 years for an acknowledgment that what was done to them was a war crime. They are still waiting.
Grandmothers, Our Grandmothers is a beautifully and sensitively rendered narrative of the ongoing crusade of WWII's most courageous survivors: the "Comfort Women" — sex slaves forced into servitude by the Japanese Imperial Army. Through personal encounters with courageous survivors, Han Seong-won brings to life the stories of resilient women who refuse to be defined by their hardships.
Although targeted at young adults, this poignant tribute's powerful storytelling and historical significance resonates with readers of all ages. These brave women carried their stories in silence, passing them to future generations through courageous testimonies.
Grandmothers, Our Grandmothers is not only a powerful historical account but also a call to action—urging readers to stand up for justice and human rights in the face of history's injustices.
