While it is true that there are a lot of issues that I don't agree with the Korean public, Muruneko obviously has no idea what he/she is talking about. During the war Japan brought many Korean conscripts to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki to work as forced labor. According to recent estimates, about 20,000 Koreans were killed in Hiroshima and about 2,000 died in Nagasaki. It is estimated that one in seven of the Hiroshima victims was of Korean ancestry. For many years Koreans had a difficult time fighting for recognition as atomic bomb victims and were denied health benefits. Though such issues have been addressed in recent years, issues regarding recognition lingers. How can you compare the death of two POW's to roughly 22,000 civilians that were killed?

It's a beautiful and friendly town, and quite accessible from Pusan with a JR Beetle/Kyushu Pass combo. I highly recommend a visit to Nagasaki.

Recently, it turns out two Netherlands POWs were also dead in Nagasaki. So far, the Netherlands never have demanded any compensation from Japan. Instead of compensation, their relatives agreed to send portraits of those unfortunate soldiers to Nagasaki in order to mourn the atomic bomb victims.

What a diffrence from the Koreans!

Oh, I have no intension to insult … Netherlanders….
