Скачать или смотреть My Name was Kiyomoto Eiko | Sang Hui Juhn | Legacy Project Houston

Sang Hui Juhn was born in 1932 in Wonju, Korea, and attended six years of primary school under Japanese occupation. She recalls not being allowed to speak Korean at school and working to provide supplies for the Japanese army instead of studying not fully understanding what was going on. Most of all, she remembers the name she was given - Kiyomoto Eiko. The occupation ended once World War II ended but soon after, conflict began to rise between North and South Korea.

Mrs. Juhn was a senior in high school when the Korean War broke out and saw a once lively dormitory filled with hundreds of girls dwindle to just five, including herself. One day in July, 45-50 charismatic North Korean officials entered her dorm and played music and sang for them. She soon learned that their kindness was a facade and they were trained to brainwash and kidnap students. Mrs. Juhn was lucky enough to flee and eventually immigrate to America but still thinks of the two friends she lost to the North Koreans.
