North Korea's Gulags never feature in international news. After reading "Escape from Camp 14", the suffering, horrors, starvation, abuse, rape, and despair are beyond belief. I cannot even imagine that such places even exist. What makes North Korea's Gulags a greater hellhole (minus mass exterminations) than the Nazi concentration camps or Soviet era gulags is that the camp rules are structured so that everyone is pitted against each other in order to survive. Fathers, mothers, and their children spy, steal, and snitch on each other under pain of death, which is unlike Nazi and Soviet concentration camps where prisoners develop mutual trust and help each other out. There is no sense of trust in a North Korean gulag. Concepts like forgiveness and even love are alien concepts. ========================================================================================= http://www.amazon.co...y/dp/0670023329 A New York Times bestseller, the shocking story of one of the few people born in a North Korean political prison to have escaped and survived. North Korea is isolated and hungry, bankrupt and belligerent. It is also armed with nuclear weapons. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazi concentration camps. Very few born and raised in these camps have escaped. But Shin Donghyuk did. In Escape from Camp 14, acclaimed journalist Blaine Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk and through the lens of Shin's life unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence-he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his own family. Through Harden's harrowing narrative of Shin's life and remarkable escape, he offers an unequaled inside account of one of the world's darkest nations and a riveting tale of endurance, courage, and survival. ========================================================================================== http://firefliesofho...in-in-geun.html =================================================================================== Some of these prison camps are bigger than Los Angeles.
