It was used as a textbook for indoctrination until it was effectively replaced by another piece of guerilla literature, Kim Il-sung's autobiography ''With the Century'', in the 1990s. The memoirs were written in order to portray Kim Il-sung as a national liberator, and to strengthen his cult of personality. However, the memoirs are still used as a textbook in ideological workplace study sessions, as well as in other forms of indoctrination. Many of the memoirs have been adapted as movies by the North Korean film industry. ==Role of the memoirs and state propaganda== The Party History Center was founded in 1958, and its collection of memoirs, ''Reminiscences of the Anti-Japanese Guerillas'', was published in 1959, when Kim Il-sung's cult of personality was being strengthened after the August Faction Incident. These initiatives were part of the efforts to create and promote Kim Il-sung's activities during World War II as an anti-Japanese myth. High-ranking defector Hwang Jang-yop dated the beginning of the personality cult at the end of the 1960s, when various guerillas disappeared from North Korean partisan literature. Until the 1960s, guerillas like Eul Ji Mun Deok, Kang Gam Chan and Lee Sun Shin were common in North Korean partisan literature. Others like Ahn Chang Ho and Shin Chae Ho were discredited. In the late 1960s, Kim Jong-il called back all the unofficial guerilla memoirs, and publishing them independently through news media or publishing houses was banned.〔 After the Kapsan Faction Incident in 1967, similar to the August Faction Incident in nature, Kim Jong-il ordered the chapters in ''Reminiscences of the Anti-Japanese Guerillas'' written by the conspirators to be deleted. Since then, the Party History Center would review and edit all memoirs. Hwang accused Kim Jong-il of trying to monopolize the independence struggle for the Kim family. Jae-Cheon Lim argues that in 1990s, the role of the memoirs as a tool for indoctrination were largely replaced by ''With the Century''.〔 The memoirs are still commonly used in daily ideological study sessions at workplaces, as they are seen as classic literature of the Workers' Party. They are also used as ideological study material in universities and in the People's Army. The memoirs are also used in annual mandatory party members' political examinations handled by the Party Propaganda and Agitation Department. Repeated failures in the examinations have resulted into local officials being fired. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reminiscences of the Anti-Japanese Guerillas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
