so you are Korean school teacher? if you are a teacher in othere decent countries around the world I recommend reading this book before teaching lies. Inconvenient and Uncomfortable
The memoir of truth from the returning soldiers. In the same profession of that paranoid story, there is a sequel in just a few years later. ruclips.net/video/R3mfU3yNvYc/видео.html At the time of the Korean War after pure Japanese left, Netherlands Army of backward support removed the fact that Korea unscrupulous traders who had approached the soldiers had exploited the money of prostitutes. But the unscrupulous dealers were too much, so they kept on remaining. If it was a painful experience, why was there no record that was told to "Help me from comfort brothels"? ruclips.net/video/H-1RcJFWrc0/видео.html Witnessed the appearance of the Koreans who were not in disorder and morality in the locale, the United Nations Army decided to truce, feeling that the sacrifice of the soldier was useless. ruclips.net/video/UuoHY_b7u0w/видео.html
Why is it that the Koreans were able to properly document the plight of the comfort women while the Filipinos just let the history die down? I am a Filipino and I am disappointed because I think that red house was demolished instead of being preserved as a historical asset of what happened during world war 2.
Im not surprised. Most of the Filipinos tend to just forgive and forget. Like what they did to an ex-president who committed plunder then elected him as mayor. It's sad that Philippine government isnt supporting the victims as well....not even an acknowledgement. that "Comfort Women" statue, WHEN ARE THEY GONNA REINSTALL IT?!
That's why the Japanese hate Koreans, because Koreans properly documented everything and will not let it die. Koreans build statues of comfort women all over the world angering the Japanese and letting the world know about comfort women. The Japanese want their shameful part of this atrocious history to be forgotten and hoping that the last comfort woman who speaks out will die.
Exactly my sentiments. I've watched a lot of documentaries on comfort women by Koreans and it was with them that I thoroughly learned the plight of these women. I hope the Philippine Government will stop kissing ass of other countries and call them out on these atrocities.
It happens in Indonesia too. The govt is busy kissing japanese ass so this issue barely notice in public. 3,5 years in Indonesia they did worst than 350 years dutch colonization. The soldiers loved to torture, rape & starve people.
I remember my late grandmother telling me how her mother (my great, great grandma) would sometimes put dirt on her face to make it seem she's darker and so the Japanese won't pick her to be their comfort woman.

So sad..My grandma and her cousin hide and applied /cover their whole body with a mud and hide in the rice fields so the japanese can’t find them..these stories shared to my mom and my mama told me about it too..
Japan talks about honor but they have no honor even in the post war. German war veterans acknowledge and apologized for the crimes thier army commited but not the lying Japanese veterans. they have no remorse
Ok, so I had an aunt (may she Rest In Peace) who was born around mid 1920s... when I was a little kid, my dad who was born in 1933 so he was roughly around 10 when the Japanese invaded (my dad is my aunt’s youngest brother) would tell me stories about how during WWII, he would see Japanese soldiers everyday approaching his oldest sister... and my aunt would literally always refuse the Japanese soldiers... that’s why my aunt married early, to avoid being forced in sex slavery to the Japanese. She married my then-uncle during the war... but my dad also had told me stories of how the Japanese soldiers massacred his brothers in front of him, in front of their bahay kubo - my uncles, who I’ve never met because they died in WWII... my dad experienced a lot of PTSD growing up in WWII and then thereafter, the US Navy sent him to Vietnam during the Vietnam “war” where he hid in a bunk hole for weeks when the Vietcong attacked.... imperialism is evil, man. My dad experienced that shit firsthand.
As a teacher, what we can do is to continue teaching the youth about the history. But we need support from the government...These mistakes should be acknowledged, remembered so that the furture generation will learn from it..that it shouldn't happen again...But the president decided to remove that "Comfort Woman" statue, arguing that it's an insult to Japan...that Japan have already apologized. WHAT. A. BULLSHIT. If Japan has sincerely apologized, THEY WILL LET THAT STATUE ALONE. BECAUSE THEY MADE A MISTAKE. Again, mistakes should be acknowleged, remembered, so you can learn from it. Japan should acknowleged that these comfort women existed, that the means of remembering the victims' suffering will bring justice.
These things are never written on history books., that means histories written on books are distorted or been edited too much its making younger generation dumb about what happened in the past
Now I'm doubting about what actually happened to so many people. I'm very very young and I'm not dumb I ALWAYS try to learn about these horrible things.
As i watched the story about korean comfort woman , I get to watch this video and learning that Filipino had comfort woman too during the WWII . I am a filipino but why Philippines let this issue died down. Very dissappointing, it is part of the history but I never recall that they teach this issue about comfort woman. So dissappointing .
I learn about this since I was 11 because of my mom's story that my grandfather told her😀 not that detailed but I learned more about this when I am in highschool. There's also a story about how Japanese soldier killed babies using a sharp tool while throwing them in the air then stabbing them. Sherkolang.
The first filipina lola who spoke, you mistranslated her words. She said that her sister lost her mind because she wasn't raped by only one japanese, but a lot of them. Please do fix your translations

Stay strong!! This is not a fight between countries. This is a fight for humanities and everything that threatens it. -from Korea, with all my respect.
Aside from all the comments were saying, I think that it is also important to record the testimonies of these Filipino comfort women about their sufferings from the Japanese soldiers. It is very significant to our history and their numbers are already declining. The government should stop acting blind on this. I just hope this issue will be brought up again on these days before it's too late.
During Japanese invasion here in the Philippines, my grandma always hide in a improvise huge hole in the ground covered with dried long leaves (dayami). Her husband (my lolo) and my grand grandfather watch her behind the bushes nearby. My grandma with her two siblings that time with my grand grandma survive such difficult situation hiding in the ground whenever Japanese arrived in their area, searching for house to house to grafting goods and forcing good looking maiden ( as their comfort women.)
I saw the story of the comfort women many, many years ago and at that time it was hoped that the Japanese would admit what they did and apologize. It is shameful that Japan has not apologized to these ladies yet.
I know how it feels to be a victim of a crime. All these victims should be recognized. Innocence is not just the thing that the Japanese took from them but their whole lives.
There are parts where translations were inaccurate because the people speaking were vague and unclear causing a lot of parts being left out. Here’s an accurate version. Also, it’s Filipino, not Philippino. 12:52 I was taken into a dark room by two soldiers. They forced me to the floor and tied me up. (Just including this part) When I woke up, I pretended to sleep, I slept because of the pain I felt. My body felt weak, I saw blood under my clothes. 13:23 My father was stabbed with a bayonet. My brother was hit by a long wood. So (unclear) I fill up (with overwhelming emotions) when I remember what was done to my family. They killed them. I fill up - I feel like dying myself. 14:12 The Japanese troops hit the men and boys, they punished them severely. Some were castrated, their insides were cut, burnt with cigarettes (?). Hukbalahap members were forced to tell the truth. (Hukbalahap is an anti-Japanese movement)
I mean Philippines is the English name for the country while Filipino is the Spanish version. But there are many people who call themselves Pilipino because of the country Pilipinas. So, neither is wrong really. I guess it's just where you come from
I was confused too, I speak the language so it was weird that the subtitles didn't match what they were actually saying. Also, ang taong iyon ay isang tanga dahil hindi siya naninirahan sa Pilipinas, ngunit sinasabi niya na may isang pamilya doon na hindi nakatulong sa kanyang argumento.
Megan Smiles we were never called Philippinos though. Pilipino/pinoy is what we call ourselves when speaking in mother tongue while Filipino is what we refer ourselves when speaking in English.
Mother.....I feel very sad by watching this video. tears are not stopping...... the suffer and pain cannot be expressed in words..God will bless u all.... There will be a permanent place in the heaven.....
The girls were beaten if they are unwilling. It was free sex to serve the soldiers but i am surprise no soldiers question it. They pay for prostitutes even in those days so why are these girls free for sex no one question it???
Where is the UN ? Disgraceful, JAPAN NEEDS TO PAY ! These girls were forced into prostitution ! And now in their 80’s a d 90’s And have not seen any money ! Japan shame, shame !! You need to acknowledge them, and compensate them !!
I don’t have the words to express my feelings about this .To witness the torture of your loved ones and then be violated over and over .Japan ......recognise these women before it’s too late .
never... read comments from other post...most japanese didn't know in details the story and thought they are paid prostitute and some even denied saying it is fake video. or they are brainwashed by China...
Most of us Japanese know facts. we can have every information around the world unlike to Korea or China. If you are allowed to buy foreign books I suggest to buy this one. Inconvenient and Uncomfortable. but maybe you are not allowed to buy this one in anti-Japan CULT country .
My heart bleeds for these women and it's just hard to imagine why the hell these things had to happen to humanity. Hope things like this specifically wars wont exist again. On the other hand, thanks for creating this documentary. Hoping stories like this will help our young people realize our history and learn from its lessons. By the way, the "Bahay na Pula" (Red House) that was shown has been featured in horror stories/films/documentaries many times as ghost stories have emerged because of its dark past relating to the Japanese occupation.
more people need to know about this. I cannot believe the Japanese government til this day has not properly apologize for this wrong doing. they need to face the truth of history and acknowledge what has happened. no amount of money can repair what these women has endured.
i am glad that my great grandma escaped from the japanese soldiers. My grandma literally ran to the forest, she ran so fast even though she stepped on something really sharp.
My great grandmother was in labor days before the Japanese soldiers where going to attack her village in china my mom told me the story and how scared my great grandmother was because her and her baby in her unborn baby could be killed or tortured because they stayed behind since she was in labor I'm still a little haunted since she got lucky and she fled with my newborn grandmother. I wouldn't even be alive if they weren't that fortunate.
When japanese soldier arrive in the village of my grandmother she and her cousin dive in the river and use bamboo to breath.. If the japanese soldier leave the village they get out to the water..
Father, Please give these precious woman, Your peace that passes their own understanding. Help them to forgive, for their sake. Please send my sister's in Christ who are filled with the Holy Spirit and walking in righteousness to witness unto them. Please prepare their hearts to receive the truth and to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior. I ask this in the name of Jesus
i just hope that they'll get the apology that they deserved before its too late. Money can't buy the dignity and time that they had lost. Praying for you lolas
@@tash2166 giving respect to the survivor's nationalities is the bare minimum of respect. How would you feel if a documentary was made on on how your country suffered and they misspelled your country the whole time? It's not about being a grammar snob it's about respect.
I know! I've never known and I'm so shook over it. I can't begin to wrap my mind around the physical pain they experienced 40 - 50 times per day by brutal soldiers 😩😞😭
There are some still alive. The ones that come forward to share their side say they are so sorry and don't forgive themselves, but the people who don't come forward will remain unknown.
Actually there was a story that went viral in the ph recently. It was about a Japanese woman who gave away millions worth of cash in oh streets. Turns out it was her grandfather's dying wish. He carried the burden his wrong doings throughout his lifetime.
This is so sad. Many of us were not aware. I wonder how the soldiers felt later after the war was over. How did they feel when they settled down and had families of their own, how did they feel in front of their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters..!
I feel like Japan's atrocities were completely overshadowed by Germany's, even though they were both terrible acts and huge violation of human rights that were happening at the same time.
Fay Bury It must have been a aweful to be used by so many boys over and over every day . I heard one white Woman was taken by them She was old enough to he their Mother and she had to satisfy all the young soldiers ..only teenagers ..They would line up in the hallway naked ..and they took turns using her mouth .forcing her to swallow ..then they would rape her .She said they always wanted oral aswell as sex .I fant lmagine how that must have been for her .
The Japanese government needs to be genuine and broadcast a full on apology with out retracting it as they have done in the past own up to their miss deeds
I have always knew the tragic stories of world war 2 (my grandma lost her father because of the war) and i feel so ashamed that people only did this 'compensation' recently, meanwhile more than half of these people are dead.
It has been years since this video was made, it makes me depressed that they do not know that people like us would remember their stories and their resilience. What they went through was HELL and even now, being invalidated of your experiences. They are HUMANS! Girls as young as 8 and 9 were victims. Those monsters never get to pay for what they had done physically. Death is too much of a mercy for them.
I hear that the Philippines was the victim of US colonization, too. A US comander ordered to “Kill Everyone Over Ten” during the Philippine-American War.
Those women in the Philippines received compensation money, health & welfare assistance and a letter of apology from Japanese prime ministers through the Philippine government between 1996 and 2001. Korean comfort women ? They were women who applied for the job as Korea wss part of Japan back then. Stories like Korean women were abducted and forced into prostitution are fake stories made up by anti-Japan Korean activists and their group.
@@marimarihosp3035 Thank you. I found the stories of the comfort women by pure luck. I love history. I wish you could tell me more. Thank you I appreciate the information. Stay safe. 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻
I had nvr come acrss abt comfort women..nly recently i'v been seeing d documentaries... n i feel so hurt bz in Indian histry nly hw mny soldiers died were mentioned nt abt ds women who died daily n slwly.... 😣
I had never come across about comfort women..only recently i have been seeing the documentaries...and i feel so hurt because in Indian history only how many soldiers died in the war were mentioned and not about these women who died daily.... I hope u got me now...tnks
They should have put this in School Text Books . This Is a WAR on Women . Shame on All Those Men , Who ABUSED All These Young Girls and Women . May the LORD warp His Loving Arms Around All of These Young Girls and Women And Comfort Them . Much Love Hugs and Prayers for Them
I heard a very, very old Japanese man, who was there being interviewed. He went into it, and was still laughing about it. Why does anyone give a crap if the talking heads--today, apologize or not. I think if I were they, I would spit on their "apology", especially because if they do, A, they will not mean it and B, they had to be forced to give it and C, they are not even the people who were involved, now that it has been that long since it happened. Piss on em. The only thing that makes any sense to me, would be if you tried to find one of em--that did it, and give THAT PERSON a right session for what he did. You will never get "justice" in this life--and revenge? The all power state believes that belongs to them--but if I were a survivor, not sure I could buy that.
I am Hungarian and my beautiful mother was go through terrible things when she was 14 in the second world war…russian soldiers rape her, .. in the village where my family used to leave everyone have to hide there daughter….she have a beautiful dark hair and one night her hair gone completely white…i can understand all of this woman pain because i know how much my mum suffered all in her life..she killed her self when she was 48….
This should put in history books. Is a real history's. Every countries should put in the books . And young generation must known and learn. Sharing the heart breaking true stories . .. this victims are no capable to speaks . But young generations can helps . Because modern technology could helps and sharing.
Japan should formally apologize to all of asia for what they did to these comfort women. America should apologize to Japan for what they did to Hiroshima and Nagazaki. and stop manufacturing nuclear weapons.
In addition to being painful and sad, this is interesting in the context of US President Reagan offering to pay remunerations to Japanese families victimized in World War II Japanese Internment Camps. I would like the Japanese military to do something similar to compensate the survivors of this injustice. I also find it difficult that they are using this word "comfort" because I generally think of "comfort" as positive word. This is a humbling reminder that the injustice most of us experience pales in comparison to what others have experienced. We can have compassion for them. We can also ask the question of why people do such unnatural things with the justification that during war morality can more conveniently be compartmentalized. We can even try to have compassion for the Japanese soldiers. They have much to regret. I wonder if they might benefit from an opportunity to apologize or contribute to this cause of making sure these women are properly cared for during the final years of their lives. Another interesting question is what effect did this trauma have on these women's children? And how can those children be healed or compensated?
our history classes did not provide any lesson on the comfort women nor the story behind the revolutionary act of people power. I only knew about them because my great grandfather is a war veteran and my parents would always take me to different museums such as war museums.
My granny LIVED through the war she told me the Japanese soldiers impaled Philippine infants on their bayonets & barbequed them over live wires! She alongside her children my grandmother & two great uncles hid from the Japanese Imperial soldiers, my great granny hid underwater from them & held her breath until they left, they were searching for her to kill her!
@yoshi muras Thank you for recommending, I might check this. I dont hate but I condemn the actions, these women were forced not only 1 but they were thousands, even my great grandma and grandma told stories about this. By not forgetting what they gone through is what we can give to these people, there might be others taking advantage this situation, I dont support them either. Thank you 🙂
unbelievably, sad what these poor woman went through... Nasty! Beyond nasty!!! Bad form for not granting these innocent woman the peace they deserve, All they want is formal apology from their aggressors! Instead, their government makes money deal with the aggressor! That's awful disrespect to all these victims of war! We are always told, that these people have high honor! more like a disgraced of war!... They should definitely apologize formally war or no war, event if it's just redeem those who created this unbelievable situation. I am sure every ancestors are furious that their off spring could of been so cruel and be so disgraceful to all these innocent young women. Hopefully this beautiful soul will find peace and have her apologies before she dies... There you go, History at it's best! History is just a series of worst of times! Discovery brought on wars, which brought pillage, murder, theft, total destruction to the any unsuspecting natives. Some barely survive and are mark for life or end up dead because of greed or worst! That's what history is all about!!! Not impress!!! Not at all!!! HUMANS!!!
Japanese are famous for upholding their honour and dignity. But they should care about other people's also. Unless they genuinely apologized to their war victims of Philippine Korea and China it will be deemed shallow. It will make them looks like they care their ego more than others dignity and honour.
my grandmother told me that her mother was born 1920s also oneday they encountered japanese and they caught but she bite the ear japanese man then run away on the deep forest(Bukid) to hide and so she is safe thank god
As a Japanese, I can understand the hatred towards my home and I can't apologize or do anything about but we can learn from our darkest mistakes in the past.
Its not being told only the victim are talking. Its a disgrace for a nation who rank so high in intelligence and integrity to go so far as using young girls or young women for force sex labor without consent if beyond anyone mind.
My grandmother tell me a story that her friend raped by the Japanese soldier and thrown the dead body in the river.. a story that made me shock.. (Philippines)
They used condoms. If they did break, then she will most likely abort. No comfort woman was ever reported to give birth to the Child of a Japanese soldier
Japan will never change from following logic... [Japan logic 1] Korea : Japan feel sorry to Korea Japan : Korea feel sorry to Vietnam Vietnam : Korea and Japan feel sorry to Vietnam Japan : Ok it is all same so no need to feel sorry from now. .... US : Really? No need to feel sorry for US Bomb? [Japan logic 2] Japan : Japan developed Asian Countries during WW2. Asian Countries : No. Japan invade Japan : No Japan made your country free from US, UK, France. Asian Countries : Why Not Apologized .... (be driven into corner) Japan : Japan apologized many times and compensated Asian Countries : Really? Ok. Japan : Next day, absurd remarks come out again from Japan .... (all fake) Asian Countries : Japan did you sincerely apologized Japan : How many time should Japan Apologize? .... Asian Countries : Is that Hone and Tatemae? or Japan's aesthetics?
As a school teacher I will make sure this goes down in detail in my history classes.
Zitterion YES!!!
so you are Korean school teacher? if you are a teacher in othere decent countries around the world I recommend reading this book before teaching lies. Inconvenient and Uncomfortable
Such a brave things to do.
Deliver it in such a way that your students would seek justice for the victims rather than instilling hate towards the modern day japanese.

never mind....karma never go away
Maam,we learned it in RUclips😊but im sure even this topic still can see on yt some students is still not that active in historys😩
I’m not sure how I came across this video, but I am in shock and in awe of these women’s resilience.
These things are never written on history books., that means histories written on books are distorted or been edited too much its making younger generation dumb about what happened in the past
panda you yes. Major facts.
jevilyn gayana - ALL history is propaganda! A white washing of the atrocities done to win, overwhelm or subdue another culture or people.
They were written. We have been studying them at 6th Grade.
Now I'm doubting about what actually happened to so many people. I'm very very young and I'm not dumb I ALWAYS try to learn about these horrible things.

cause other asian countries are money sucker.. the japanese give them money so they can shut up.
Talaga? Hindi ito itinuro sainyo? Sa school ko dati lahat yan pinag aralan namin pati nga pagsakop ng japan sa china.

Also, it’s Filipino, not Philippino.
12:52
I was taken into a dark room by two soldiers. They forced me to the floor and tied me up. (Just including this part)
When I woke up, I pretended to sleep, I slept because of the pain I felt. My body felt weak, I saw blood under my clothes.
13:23
My father was stabbed with a bayonet. My brother was hit by a long wood. So (unclear) I fill up (with overwhelming emotions) when I remember what was done to my family. They killed them. I fill up - I feel like dying myself.
14:12
The Japanese troops hit the men and boys, they punished them severely. Some were castrated, their insides were cut, burnt with cigarettes (?). Hukbalahap members were forced to tell the truth.
(Hukbalahap is an anti-Japanese movement)

Thank you
Thank you. More effort needs to be taken to ensure accurate translations. It is owed to these women that their exact words are heard.
I remember my late grandma telling me shes climbing the tree to hide her self. Evrytime japeneses soldier come.
the Tagalog subtitles are kind of incomplete and a little unaccurate /:
Also it’s ‘Filipino’ not ‘Philippino’ ...
I mean Philippines is the English name for the country while Filipino is the Spanish version. But there are many people who call themselves Pilipino because of the country Pilipinas. So, neither is wrong really. I guess it's just where you come from
Megan Smiles
FILIPINOS would know 🙃🙃 and I’m Filipino
Thank you, next
@@nekol1038 damn sorry dont gotta be like that. I have ancestry based around that country so idk, I've looked up a lot on it. but ok.
I was confused too, I speak the language so it was weird that the subtitles didn't match what they were actually saying. Also,
ang taong iyon ay isang tanga dahil hindi siya naninirahan sa Pilipinas, ngunit sinasabi niya na may isang pamilya doon na hindi nakatulong sa kanyang argumento.
Megan Smiles we were never called Philippinos though. Pilipino/pinoy is what we call ourselves when speaking in mother tongue while Filipino is what we refer ourselves when speaking in English.
Mother.....I feel very sad by watching this video. tears are not stopping...... the suffer and pain cannot be expressed in words..God will bless u all.... There will be a permanent place in the heaven.....
I dont know how as a man you can be okay hurting someone like this. So many of them too.
The girls were beaten if they are unwilling. It was free sex to serve the soldiers but i am surprise no soldiers question it. They pay for prostitutes even in those days so why are these girls free for sex no one question it???
Where is the UN ? Disgraceful, JAPAN NEEDS TO PAY ! These girls were forced into prostitution ! And now in their 80’s a d 90’s
And have not seen any money ! Japan shame, shame !! You need to acknowledge them, and compensate them !!
Seriously heartbreaking.. Hope these videos reach a million more people
share it...I did
Never forget these stories
This made me cry. Very heart wrenching history. I wonder what my ancestors went through under these invaders. No wonder Filipinos seem to be lost.
I don’t have the words to express my feelings about this .To witness the torture of your loved ones and then be violated over and over .Japan ......recognise these women before it’s too late .
6:51 the deepest pain she had still remain in her heart.. 😢
So sad her sister went crazy bcz of the situation
@@jemimaestrada6860 not just her going crazy, anyone would have too
My grandmother used to tell this story to my mother, my mom told me this. My grandmother passed away when i was elementary. This is so sad 😔
What are those Japanese govt. Waiting for is it dat hard to apologise to these innocent grandmoms.....
never... read comments from other post...most japanese didn't know in details the story and thought they are paid prostitute and some even denied saying it is fake video. or they are brainwashed by China...
@@mermaidcomedy4647 👍 okkk!!
the vry responsibility of the jpns govt is to reveal the truth to their peps .....bt i guess they vl nvr do dat...😡
Most of us Japanese know facts. we can have every information around the world unlike to Korea or China. If you are allowed to buy foreign books I suggest to buy this one. Inconvenient and Uncomfortable. but maybe you are not allowed to buy this one in anti-Japan CULT country .
@@keikotunoda426 頑張ろうね、この敗戦国という濡れ衣を晴らす日が来るまで！
My heart bleeds for these women and it's just hard to imagine why the hell these things had to happen to humanity. Hope things like this specifically wars wont exist again. On the other hand, thanks for creating this documentary. Hoping stories like this will help our young people realize our history and learn from its lessons. By the way, the "Bahay na Pula" (Red House) that was shown has been featured in horror stories/films/documentaries many times as ghost stories have emerged because of its dark past relating to the Japanese occupation.
I don't know why they allow that building to stand....they should burn it to the ground
Hmmm... Not to judge but it has some wrong translations, especially the Filipino language. But I am here in help and assistance in translating.
"To", not "in help."
Please do correct. I want to know their stories in the most correct way possible
The subs are broken as hell. Even though I can understand Tagalog I'm still bothered with that thing
When they spelled Filipino, Philippino.... Understandable though... The content is much more important than the title :))
more people need to know about this. I cannot believe the Japanese government til this day has not properly apologize for this wrong doing. they need to face the truth of history and acknowledge what has happened. no amount of money can repair what these women has endured.
The problem is their history textbook
i am glad that my great grandma escaped from the japanese soldiers. My grandma literally ran to the forest, she ran so fast even though she stepped on something really sharp.
My great grandmother was in labor days before the Japanese soldiers where going to attack her village in china my mom told me the story and how scared my great grandmother was because her and her baby in her unborn baby could be killed or tortured because they stayed behind since she was in labor I'm still a little haunted since she got lucky and she fled with my newborn grandmother. I wouldn't even be alive if they weren't that fortunate.
We live in a time when the survivors of war are now very old and near dying.
Prayers for these women and prayers for the apologies they deserve.
When japanese soldier arrive in the village of my grandmother she and her cousin dive in the river and use bamboo to breath.. If the japanese soldier leave the village they get out to the water..
So they would hide everytime they went to their village?
Was that common?
By the way, how brave to hide from those monsters underwater!
Father, Please give these precious woman, Your peace that passes their own understanding. Help them to forgive, for their sake. Please send my sister's in Christ who are filled with the Holy Spirit and walking in righteousness to witness unto them. Please prepare their hearts to receive the truth and to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior. I ask this in the name of Jesus
No need to type it online just say it from mouth 🤦🏻♀️
Amen
i just hope that they'll get the apology that they deserved before its too late. Money can't buy the dignity and time that they had lost. Praying for you lolas
Filipino not Philippino
FilipinA women. Filipina is the correct adjective for the feminine noun- women
In French we do say les philipins and les Philippines. It depend on how languages goes I guess.
That's not important
Nice of you to focus on a spelling mistake in a horrifying documentary....yeah
@@tash2166 giving respect to the survivor's nationalities is the bare minimum of respect. How would you feel if a documentary was made on on how your country suffered and they misspelled your country the whole time? It's not about being a grammar snob it's about respect.
Omg i cant believe this happened. How can people be so cruel 😭😭😭
I know! I've never known and I'm so shook over it. I can't begin to wrap my mind around the physical pain they experienced 40 - 50 times per day by brutal soldiers 😩😞😭
Wonder if those soldiers are still alive and remorseful or are they still justifying themselves by blaming the culture and system that existed then .
Theres another video from the side of the soldiers. Its an animation, I forgot the title though.
ruclips.net/video/f3QZBRJ-_Rk/видео.html
There are some still alive. The ones that come forward to share their side say they are so sorry and don't forgive themselves, but the people who don't come forward will remain unknown.
Actually there was a story that went viral in the ph recently. It was about a Japanese woman who gave away millions worth of cash in oh streets. Turns out it was her grandfather's dying wish. He carried the burden his wrong doings throughout his lifetime.
@@svgnna535 link if possible? thanks
Swear angelina jolie or someone in hollywood needs to make a movie!!!! Rip and much love to all the children and young
women 💔❤
This is so sad. Many of us were not aware.
I wonder how the soldiers felt later after the war was over. How did they feel when they settled down and had families of their own, how did they feel in front of their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters..!
2 atomic bomb is not enough....they should get 10 or 20
Great questions
This is shocking beyond words, and it's shocking that these events are as good as unknown in the West, and aren't documented in history books.
I remember my grandma told me that she and her sisters hid inside the cave for too long and they only come out to find food supplies. .
I feel like Japan's atrocities were completely overshadowed by Germany's, even though they were both terrible acts and huge violation of human rights that were happening at the same time.
Some of those Japanese soldiers are still living just like some of these women are.
Fay Bury
Yes most soldiers were only 17/20 years old when they raped the Women ..
Fay Bury
It must have been a aweful to be used by so many boys over and over every day .
I heard one white Woman was taken by them She was old enough to he their Mother and she had to satisfy all the young soldiers ..only teenagers ..They would line up in the hallway naked ..and they took turns using her mouth .forcing her to swallow ..then they would rape her .She said they always wanted oral aswell as sex .I fant lmagine how that must have been for her .
I'm crying right now, I can't imagined how to let this to happened, may souls of lolas is now in rest in peace. I'm so sad.
Saya pribadi orang Indonesia..sangat terenyuh sampai meneteskan air mata 🙏🙏
I wanted to cry after hearing their stories 💔💔💔
The Japanese government needs to be genuine and broadcast a full on apology with out retracting it as they have done in the past own up to their miss deeds
Please rectify the inaccuracy of the subtitles.
Im terribly broken… Even if they’re not alive anymore… WE WILL REMEMBER and its a promise
I won't forget.
I have always knew the tragic stories of world war 2 (my grandma lost her father because of the war) and i feel so ashamed that people only did this 'compensation' recently, meanwhile more than half of these people are dead.
In the Netherlands these events are told in history class, because they also took place in Indonesia, which was a colony of the Netherlands back then.
It has been years since this video was made, it makes me depressed that they do not know that people like us would remember their stories and their resilience. What they went through was HELL and even now, being invalidated of your experiences. They are HUMANS! Girls as young as 8 and 9 were victims. Those monsters never get to pay for what they had done physically. Death is too much of a mercy for them.
I hear that the Philippines was the victim of US colonization, too.
A US comander ordered to “Kill Everyone Over Ten” during the Philippine-American War.
Please get a petition out we will sign. . I am so sorry grannies. 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻
Those women in the Philippines received compensation money, health & welfare assistance and a letter of apology from Japanese prime ministers through the Philippine government between 1996 and 2001.
Korean comfort women ? They were women who applied for the job as Korea wss part of Japan back then. Stories like Korean women were abducted and forced into prostitution are fake stories made up by anti-Japan Korean activists and their group.
@@marimarihosp3035 Thank you. I found the stories of the comfort women by pure luck. I love history. I wish you could tell me more. Thank you I appreciate the information. Stay safe. 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻
@@melaniekotze9081
Thank you, too. Korea is like Austria annexed by Nazi Germany.
I had nvr come acrss abt comfort women..nly recently i'v been seeing d documentaries... n i feel so hurt bz in Indian histry nly hw mny soldiers died were mentioned nt abt ds women who died daily n slwly.... 😣
Can you use regular words please?
I used nly few shrtcuts..whats there to not understand..🙄
I had never come across about comfort women..only recently i have been seeing the documentaries...and i feel so hurt because in Indian history only how many soldiers died in the war were mentioned and not about these women who died daily....
I hope u got me now...tnks
The subtitles are wrong
What would you rather have....its their voices in words
They should have put this in School Text Books . This Is a WAR on Women . Shame on All Those Men , Who ABUSED All These Young Girls and Women . May the LORD warp His Loving Arms Around All of These Young Girls and Women And Comfort Them . Much Love Hugs and Prayers for Them
I heard a very, very old Japanese man, who was there being interviewed. He went into it, and was still laughing about it. Why does anyone give a crap if the talking heads--today, apologize or not. I think if I were they, I would spit on their "apology", especially because if they do, A, they will not mean it and B, they had to be forced to give it and C, they are not even the people who were involved, now that it has been that long since it happened. Piss on em. The only thing that makes any sense to me, would be if you tried to find one of em--that did it, and give THAT PERSON a right session for what he did. You will never get "justice" in this life--and revenge? The all power state believes that belongs to them--but if I were a survivor, not sure I could buy that.
i just wanna hug those lost souls. i feel really sorry for what happened
I am Hungarian and my beautiful mother was go through terrible things when she was 14 in the second world war…russian soldiers rape her, .. in the village where my family used to leave everyone have to hide there daughter….she have a beautiful dark hair and one night her hair gone completely white…i can understand all of this woman pain because i know how much my mum suffered all in her life..she killed her self when she was 48….
13:47 my god.. My heart is melting
Barbaric!
one of the deepest pain in history.
So sad. These women are so brave
This should put in history books. Is a real history's. Every countries should put in the books . And young generation must known and learn. Sharing the heart breaking true stories . .. this victims are no capable to speaks . But young generations can helps . Because modern technology could helps and sharing.
It's very long time ago and they still fee l the pain.
Japan should formally apologize to all of asia for what they did to these comfort women.
America should apologize to Japan for what they did to Hiroshima and Nagazaki. and stop manufacturing nuclear weapons.
Japan earned those atom bombs
@@jimcipriano5322
some say Americans earned those planes.
In addition to being painful and sad, this is interesting in the context of US President Reagan offering to pay remunerations to Japanese families victimized in World War II Japanese Internment Camps. I would like the Japanese military to do something similar to compensate the survivors of this injustice. I also find it difficult that they are using this word "comfort" because I generally think of "comfort" as positive word. This is a humbling reminder that the injustice most of us experience pales in comparison to what others have experienced. We can have compassion for them. We can also ask the question of why people do such unnatural things with the justification that during war morality can more conveniently be compartmentalized.
We can even try to have compassion for the Japanese soldiers. They have much to regret. I wonder if they might benefit from an opportunity to apologize or contribute to this cause of making sure these women are properly cared for during the final years of their lives. Another interesting question is what effect did this trauma have on these women's children? And how can those children be healed or compensated?
I pray no mercy for the devils of war
our history classes did not provide any lesson on the comfort women nor the story behind the revolutionary act of people power. I only knew about them because my great grandfather is a war veteran and my parents would always take me to different museums such as war museums.
Reality sure is DARK,very dark
These poor women 😔 they don’t deserve this
My granny LIVED through the war she told me the Japanese soldiers impaled Philippine infants on their bayonets & barbequed them over live wires! She alongside her children my grandmother & two great uncles hid from the Japanese Imperial soldiers, my great granny hid underwater from them & held her breath until they left, they were searching for her to kill her!
Omg yeah to cover their honors cuz they didnt want it leak. This is a big shame, disgrace!
We will never forget.
@yoshi muras Thank you for recommending, I might check this. I dont hate but I condemn the actions, these women were forced not only 1 but they were thousands, even my great grandma and grandma told stories about this. By not forgetting what they gone through is what we can give to these people, there might be others taking advantage this situation, I dont support them either. Thank you 🙂
unbelievably, sad what these poor woman went through...
Nasty! Beyond nasty!!! Bad form for not granting these innocent woman the peace they deserve, All they want is formal apology from their aggressors!
Instead, their government makes money deal with the aggressor!
That's awful disrespect to all these victims of war!
We are always told, that these people have high honor! more like a disgraced of war!... They should definitely apologize formally war or no war, event if it's just redeem those who created this unbelievable situation. I am sure every ancestors are furious that their off spring could of been so cruel and be so disgraceful to all these innocent young women.
Hopefully this beautiful soul will find peace and have her apologies before she dies...
There you go, History at it's best!
History is just a series of worst of times!
Discovery brought on wars, which brought pillage, murder, theft, total destruction to the any unsuspecting natives.
Some barely survive and are mark for life or end up dead because of greed or worst!
That's what history is all about!!!
Not impress!!! Not at all!!! HUMANS!!!
Japanese are famous for upholding their honour and dignity. But they should care about other people's also. Unless they genuinely apologized to their war victims of Philippine Korea and China it will be deemed shallow. It will make them looks like they care their ego more than others dignity and honour.
14:14 she was referring to communist rebels, not Japanese troops
The grannies are eating Adobo!
my grandmother told me that her mother was born 1920s also oneday they encountered japanese and they caught but she bite the ear japanese man then run away on the deep forest(Bukid) to hide and so she is safe thank god
im gonna cry😢
An arirang special.
Kawawa naman sila lola.😢 Napakamalas nila ng panahon na yan hayaan nio lola patay na ung mga rapist mga hapon na yan
History is always distorted and controlled by the powerful ones...
That title doe, "Philippino" I felt offended even if it's a typo
As a Japanese, I can understand the hatred towards my home and I can't apologize or do anything about but we can learn from our darkest mistakes in the past.
Its not being told only the victim are talking. Its a disgrace for a nation who rank so high in intelligence and integrity to go so far as using young girls or young women for force sex labor without consent if beyond anyone mind.
My grandmother tell me a story that her friend raped by the Japanese soldier and thrown the dead body in the river.. a story that made me shock.. (Philippines)
0:30 means every night, they do it
Babies born to the comfort women
They used condoms. If they did break, then she will most likely abort. No comfort woman was ever reported to give birth to the Child of a Japanese soldier
Japan will never change from following logic...
[Japan logic 1]
Korea : Japan feel sorry to Korea
Japan : Korea feel sorry to Vietnam
Vietnam : Korea and Japan feel sorry to Vietnam
Japan : Ok it is all same so no need to feel sorry from now.
....
US : Really? No need to feel sorry for US Bomb?
[Japan logic 2]
Japan : Japan developed Asian Countries during WW2.
Asian Countries : No. Japan invade
Japan : No Japan made your country free from US, UK, France.
Asian Countries : Why Not Apologized
.... (be driven into corner)
Japan : Japan apologized many times and compensated
Asian Countries : Really? Ok.
Japan : Next day, absurd remarks come out again from Japan
.... (all fake)
Asian Countries : Japan did you sincerely apologized
Japan : How many time should Japan Apologize?
....
Asian Countries : Is that Hone and Tatemae? or Japan's aesthetics?
And to think In South Africa our old textbooks only taught us about the atomic bombings of Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
