The Sinchon Museum of United States War Atrocities is located in Sinchon County, North Korea, and is dedicated to the Sinchon Massacre, a mass murder of North Korean civilians during the Korean War. ==History== (詳細はThe Institute for Korean Historical Studies, summarized in a Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation report, concluded that both Communists and anti-Communist vigilantes were engaging in wholesale slaughter throughout the area, and that the 19th Infantry Regiment took the city and failed to prevent the secret police that came with them from perpetuating the civilian murders, but did not participate themselves. Furthermore, when Communists retook the city, the population was again purged.〔Institute for Korean Historical Studies. 《사진과 그림으로보는 북한현대사》 p91~p93〕〔(The Truth About the Sinchun Massacre )〕 Other sources have concluded that the "massacre" was caused by a local rivalry that used the fog of war as a pretense.〔(Review: Hwang Sok-yong, The Guest (Seven Stories Press, 2005) )〕 The museum complex consists of several buildings, an air raid shelter, and a gravesite. The air raid shelter, where Party members and civilians were burned to death, features scratches on the wall said to be evidence of human suffering as the victims died. The museum is housed in the former Sinchon County Party Committee building, which was the site of much killing. Photographs, paintings, and artifacts are displayed in 16 rooms in the main hall and in 3 rooms in hall number two. American war atrocities against the Korean people throughout the 19th and 20th centuries is a primary theme of the museum. Chronicled are the events from the General Sherman incident, Christian missionary activities, the post-World War II occupation of Korea, and the Korean War. 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「Sinchon Museum of American War Atrocities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
