~~ Former residents of Hashima Island (Gunkanjima) in Nagasaki have published a booklet that debunks images used by South Korea as supposed proof of the “abuse” of Korean workers during the war at the Hashima coal mine. The booklet examines the three most evocative of the images, and condemns “the unacceptable use of fake images in an attempt to deceive the world and tarnish Gunkanjima’s image.” 350350 In 2015, when UNESCO registered Gunkanjima as a World Cultural Heritage Site, the South Korean government and civic organizations began making claims that contradicted the testimonies of former residents, including claims that people from the Korean Peninsula were made to work as slaves.
