Memory of the Past (Japanese Military Comfort Women)

The Japanese Military Comfort Women Memory of the Past is a space located on Namsan in Yejang-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, and opened in 2016. The Memory of the Past is a memorial park honoring the grandmothers who were victims of the comfort women system, created around records of their testimonies, damage records, and the atrocities of Japanese imperialism, and is a space embodying the meaning of human rights and peace. There is a regular guided commentary program for the Memory of the Past and the Memorial Stone, allowing visitors to walk along the Namsan trail connecting the Namsan Japanese Military Comfort Women Memorial Stone (Solidarity for Justice) and the Memory of the Past, gain a correct understanding of the Japanese military comfort women issue, and engage in level-appropriate experiential activities and discussions on human rights and peace with a professional instructor.
