LIFE AFTER THE HOLOCAUST

Lisa: "I was deathly ill for seven days. The women were separated from the men. And most of the women in my cabin were Italian wives that were joining their husbands. And when the boat - when it was so rough on the sea, everybody went down to pray. I was so sick, I have not been able to go down to pray. So they screamed at me that I am anti-Christ and that I am going to bring down the boat. And they really dragged... tried to drag me down! I was so sick and I wished death on myself. I said, after all of this that I went through in life, now this? When will it ever end? When will it ever end..."

Interview with women who lived during Holocaust

Through this interview with Lisa who lived during holocaust, I can learn Jew's women's life was not good. They were sick from the diseases and live in poor life. No one take care about their pain and get a suppression from Christian.

Extremely, they want to die than living life.

Oral Histories of the “Comfort Women”

by. Kim Tŏkchin

“I Have Much to Say to the Korean Government”

"...........(Omission) I asked one of the soldiers; “Why are you taking us from room to room to different men? What is our work? Is it just going to be with different men?” Hereplied: “You will go wherever orders take you. And you will know what your job is when you get there.” We left Nagasaki after a week of this grueling ordeal.

...........(Omission) Then from about 9 o’clock the soldiers began to arrive and form orderly lines. From 6 o’clock in the evening highranking officers came, some of whom stayed overnight. Each of us had to serve an average of 30 to 40 men each day, and we often had no time to sleep. When there was a battle, the number of soldiers who came declined. In each room there was a box of condoms which the soldiers used. There were some who refused to use them, but more than half put them on without complaining. I told those who would not use them that I had a terrible disease, and it would be wise for them to use a condom if they didn’t want to catch it. Quite a few would rush straight to penetration without condoms, saying they couldn’t care less if they caught any diseases since they were likely to die on the battlefield at any moment. On such occasions I was terrified that I might actually catch venereal disease. After one use, we threw the condoms away; plenty were provided."
