An exhibit hall that will feature memorial archives of the painful history of comfort women opened at the House of Sharing in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province on Nov. 18. The House of Sharing is a home for surviving comfort women. The exhibit hall, which was built in a 1300 square meter open space behind the living area for the women, is designed to educate visitors on the women’s experiences and provide an opportunity to learn about the importance of peace and human rights. The hall was designed as a two story Hanok (traditional Korean house), with the first floor housing various objects and artifacts, as well as portraits of the women. On the second floor are archival records for 119 former comfort women (97 Koreans and 22 foreigners), as well as a memorial wall with the names of 280 women (242 Koreans and 32 foreigners) with their names written in English and Korean.
