ESJF at Pacific Atrocities Education

Russ Lowe and Sung Sohn taught a group of eleven interns at the Pacific Atrocities Education on “comfort women” history and issues. Ten college students and one high school senior made insightful comments and asked thoughtful questions. One voiced that she believes social justice should be the core component of history.

​This summer, interns from various ethnic backgrounds are researching multiple topics on WWII in the Pacific theatre, including the correlation between the Japanese economy and the Korean War, Vietnamese famine, and Chinese military presence in Burma. They’ll have a showcase of their culminating work on July 25.
