Recording Oral Histories
Project Introduction
This is a major project established to record oral statements and histories from the surviving victims of the forced mobilization by Japan and relevant witnesses to facilitate the production and collection of primary historical materials and help the government manage and build up objective evidentiary materials for the victims.
Oral statement records will be used as primary evidence to verify and correct any inaccuracies or omissions in the existing literature as well as key materials to investigate the truths about the victims of the forced mobilization in order to pursue registration for the UNESCO Memory of the World Program.
