Below is an excerpt from the article.
Choi Chungmoo, professor at the University of California, Irvine, who led the U.S. research team in translation of the 4th 'Comfort Women' testimony book. She said, "We need to translate all audio and video files and testimonies in the MOGEF's (Korean Ministry of Gender Equality and Family) online museum so that the world can see it." More than 100 victims' testimonies were published, but so far, the MOGEF has translated only 10 victim testimonies into English. Professor Choi also proposed the creation of cutting-edge autobiography for each victim using technologies such as holograms.
