North Korea Concentration Camp

A survivor and one of the few to escape from a North Korea concentration camp relates his story. Shin Dong-hyuk, the escapee, tells how he had never before experienced life outside the camp. Only until two years after his escape did he even begin to understand what family is as he was raised by guards, he couldn't understand. Political dissidents are sent to these camps, along with  their wife, children and grandchildren. Everyone at the camp was starving and he felt no guilt until he left for turning in his mother and brother for planning to escape. They were both executed publicly. This is horrible. The people's rights are not being respected and the horrors they are experiencing are tremendous. Situations in North Korea need to change and the people must be taken care of.  People should never have to experience and see such horror.
