Two years before the 100th anniversary of The Great Kanto Earthquake, we are trying to clarify the truth of the Japanese government's massacre of Koreans in various parts of society. Scholars, activists, and citizens of Korea and Japan believe that remembering, recording and commemorating genocide caused by national violence is a process of practice to dismantle the structure of violence and prevent recurrence. This is also a way of mourning to make the life of the victim meaningful.
Therefore, it is important to reflect on the genocide we have done as well as to question Japan's responsibility and truth. To reveal the truth, to let the perpetrator reflect, and to reflect on ourselves is to be humbled in front of history. That way we will be able to access the peace, forgiveness and reconciliation that mankind pursues.
