FEATURE: Nagasaki museum tells untold story about Korean atomic bomb victims

NAGASAKI - Although the deaths of foreign victims in the U.S. atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945 have long been documented, a museum in the southwestern Japanese city has been trying to shed light on the actual death toll of Koreans and lesser-known aspects of World War II.

Perched on a hill nearly 3 kilometers north of ground zero, the Nagasaki Museum for Human Rights and Peace, run by a nonprofit organization, presents a view of history that portrays Japan not only as a victim of war but also as a nation that forcibly brought many Koreans to Japan and committed war crimes.
