South Korean Apathy and North Korea Atrocities

Andrei Lankov, writing in Remembering Victims of North Korean Political Camps:
- "Younger generations of Koreans want to see a whitewashed image of the North that should be presented as a country of tragically misunderstood brethren, not as a brutal and murderous dictatorship.
"And, frankly, people do not care. The North is an alien country, of which South Koreans do not know much. Their lives are more closely connected to events in New York and Osaka than to the developments just a hundred miles away."
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
