75 Years Since the Provocation of the Korean War (Great Fatherland Liberation War) by the US imperialists- Memories of Visiting the Sinchon Museum’
During their temporary occupation of some parts of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK ) from October 1950 to December 1950 the US imperialists carried out huge massacres . One of the places where they carried out a massacre was Sinchon county in south Hwanghae province where 35,383 civilians were killed by the US imperialists and their collaborators. Sinchon is regarded as a terrible place by Koreans . In 1958 a museum was built in Sinchon ri to commemorate those who died and to educate people about the true nature of US imperialism .
I visited Sinchon museum in 2002 , 2008, 2013, 2015 and 2017. Sinchon which is about 2 hours by road from Pyongyang . In 2013 I took part in an international anti-US rally at Sinchon which was included former US attorney general Ramsey Clark.
The museum was rebuilt and expanded in July 2015. Dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN visited Sinchon in November 2014 and declared that;
"The massacres committed by the U.S. imperialist aggressors in Sinchon evidently showed that they are cannibals and homicides seeking pleasure in slaughter" He gave the task for rebuilding and expanding the Sinchon Museum pointing out that "illusion about the enemy just means death and any slightest illusion about the enemy may lead to the renunciation of the revolution and eventually spoil it.".
The new Sinchon museum was constructed at the site of where the massacre of mothers and children occurred . Previously people would visit the museum which stood in the town of Sinchon and then come to the spot where the US imperialists murdered mothers and children . Visiting museum in October 2015 and April 2017 which was much bigger than the old one we saw the grim and truly stomach turning evidence of the Yankee imperialists crime in Korea. Really the Yankees and their puppets outdid the Nazis in terms of savagery as they managed to kill so many people in such a short space of time and in a confined area. The US imperialists used all kinds of barbaric and bestial methods of killing and acted like wild animals .
The new Sinchon Museum is equipped with the latest technology and even includes sound effects. An atmosphere of anti-US, anti-imperialist militancy was created by the song "Death to the US imperialist aggressors " being played over the PA system. There were anti US posters on display and one could purchase cheaply booklets such as "Sinchon Indicts the Yankee barbarians ". Real no-nonsense anti-imperialism which you will rarely find anywhere else in the world.
