A memorial monument has been built in the U.S. to remember the Korean women who were sexually victimized by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War Two.
The Korean American Voters' Council held an unveiling ceremony for the one-by-one meter marble tablet erected outside a library in Palisades Park, New Jersey. The city mayor and 100 citizens attended the event.
On it, it's written that the Japanese army gravely infringed on the basic human rights of 200-thousand women and that this heinous crime must never be forgotten.
The council says that the ten-thousand dollars used to build the monument was provided by donations from Korean residents and that it plans to build 20 more in locations across the U.S.
