THE HOUSE OF SHARING
www.houseofsharing.org
The House of Sharing is a museum and home for survivors of Japanese military sexual
enslavement during World War II. Previously referred to as 'Comfort Women,' many of these women
were taken at young ages and forced into years of sexual servitude to the Japanese troops in
various occupied Asian nations. Many of the 'grandmothers' (as the survivors are affectionately
called), now well into their 80s and 90s, are currently seeking justice for these atrocities. To date,
the Japanese government has never formally acknowledged the existence of an organized sexual
slavery system, despite piles of documented evidence and testimony. The grandmothers also seek
a formal apology. Each Wednesday, a handful of them make an appearance at the Japanese
Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, to actively protest on this issue.
The House Of Sharing seeks to raise awareness of their plight, and also to assist them in
achieving the justice they've sought for so long. A handful of the remaining grandmothers reside at
the House.

Why Jeremiah Hill Photography supports The House Of Sharing:
We support the House of Sharing because we support the grandmothers in their quest for justice.
We believe it is the responsibility of any government to admit to its wrongdoings.
What these women suffered was horrendous. While it cannot be undone, and we do not support
the seeking of justice as a form of vengeance, we believe that the clear and transparent admission
of past mistakes, no matter how evil, will ultimately lead to a sense of peace and wellbeing for all
parties, and for future generations to come.
