  Do any of you out there realize there is a holocaust of another kind going on as I type this? There are so few people out in the world right now helping those who suffer, who run away, who barely survive. I am so fed up with the ignorance and unwillingness of so many to educate themselves and to help in any way possible. I myself, as a young college student cannot do anything big just yet, but you know what? i sure can do my best to let people know what's going on...that's what this website is for.
for those of you who don't know...as i type now, in my comfortable single room in quiet and peaceful San Diego, CA., there are hundreds of thousands...possibly millions of people in North Korea who suffer from starvation, from a communist regime who strips them of all basic rights, and within camps that are at best slave labor camps. Christians...who will not stop proclaiming who their true God is are being killed, tortured, beaten, and starved for believing in the one God who had sent Jesus as their Saviour. They out of many are persecuted for not proclaiming and believing that Kim Jong-Il the political leader, is their god.
I'm so outraged even more so now, because North Korea, in response to the pressure they have received in regards to their nuclear program has started 100 days of a more intense and determined search to capture any North Koreans who have escaped, especially in China, where they are not given asylum and are treated no better than dirt. God has clearly blessed me...many times more than I deserve, or any of you out there who are nowhere close to suffering as much as the population of North Korea...especially the Christians.
It is a holocaust once more, and for those of us who know what's going on--the least that we can do is spread the word. here's a great website: urlLink The Chosun Journal read as much as you can, when you can. There are also many Korean Americans, South Koreans, and other foreign people who have the desire to help and do so. One German doctor, named Norbert Vollertsen, has done so, after living in North Korea for a year and a half. Here are some articles about him: urlLink World Magazine: "Paying a debt to history" urlLink Chosen Journal: "Interview with Norbert Vollertsen" urlLink Time Asia: "Diary of A Mad Place" I focus on this German doctor, because he does not hesitate to speak publicly about North Korea and his experiences, and unlike refugees and defectors who have families to protect back home and other things inhibiting their accounts, he does not have such factors holding him back.
It is probable that his accounts are correct and un-exaggerated. The least that any of you can do is at least spread the word, send correspondence to your government or the U.N., or to write and post information also, so that when enough people are gathered together to speak out, or to do something of considerable size and influence, that it will make changes.
It just does not make any sense. South Korean youth are understandably angry at the United States in regards to the murder of two South Korean girls by American GI's...but do they not know that just to the north, there are thousands of other Koreans who are dying and suffering also? Why can't they promote that cause...or protest about that situation? I know that the "Sunshine Policy", or reunification is encouraged...but does that stop or justify the persecution within the labor camps...does it stop the holocaust? Please...pray for North Korea also. I know I will...every day that I can. Lord, I beg that You look down upon the state of North Korea right now as You hear my prayer.
I ask that You protect those who die and suffer because they love You and proclaim Your name to be the only one to worship. I ask that You help the government, the leaders, and other foreign leaders to realize the sins that they are doing. May You stop the suffering, the starvation, the torture, the capture, the imprisonment, the dictator-like regime, and anything that is horrible in Your name. May You help North Korea either become a nation of morals and political freedom, or to possibly reunite it with South Korea--a nation that is on it's path to being successful as a democratic nation. May you give me the strength, the words, and reminders, so that I can do what little I can do spread the word and help the cause. May Your name be glorified. Amen.
