Japan and South Korea Reach Landmark Deal on World War II Sex Slaves

From the Dec. 28, 2015, Detroit Free Press by AP.

An apology will be given by the Japanese prime minister and a pledge of more than $8 million will be given to the survivors.  This has been a point of contention between the two countries for decades now.

Korean women were forced into brothels run by the Japanese military.

This did not only take place in Korea.  Altogether, some 200,000 women became sex slaves.

There are 46 surviving Korean sex slaves, now in their 80s and 90s.
