Girl with a Tank 소녀와 탱크

The soldiers said the camp was moving to Sosa and we could come with them.  Actually, young girls are not supposed to leave home.  It was a big decision, so three of us went there.  That's how I started to develop myself a little bit better.  We cooked ourselves.  One pot, one bedroom.  Oh, we had fun because no one told us what to do.  We had only a bowl of rice and kimchee, but we had fun.  First time away from home.

During the War, the traditional family structure broke down and people like my mother had more freedom.  She said that’s when she went all over the place.  She followed her older brother around, older boys, and learned how to       swim. - Helen Kim

I trained my surviving skills very early!  I learned how to manage pennies and money. - Kee Park
