I know a lot about World War II, but never knew about the "comfort girls."Young girls were kidnapped from other Asian countries and forced into prostitution. Or they were told if they volunteered to work for the Emperor, they would earn money to send home to their families, who were starving. They were all placed in "comfort stations" to service Japanese military. Their conditions were horrific and they were dispensable, especially at the beginning of the war.Several years ago some of these women who survived started telling their stories which Japan initially denied.This story is well worth the time to read.
