Fifty years after the Korean War, Kye Il Hwang vividly remembers the pain and suffering his family encountered as civilians living in the Kyung Sang province. With disfiguring scars on his face, loss of sight in his left eye, and deteriorating vision in the other, Hwang dabs his eyes with a towel as he recounts his memories.
“I was seven when the war broke out,” Hwang said in Korean. “One day, a person who was not police or a soldier came to warn us that if we did not take refuge, we would die.”
