Lan-fu, Comfort Women

This was not an easy story to do but it had to be told and re-told.  Over the past several weeks, I've had the privilege of talking to them, the comfort women, or lan-fu in Japanese. They are old now and wobbly. Many can hardly remember their age but they will never forget the atrocities of war.

In the coming days, I will be posting my stories here. In the meantime, let us remember their names. Let us never forget.
