Victims' memories of paincreate 'witness to history'

Memorial dedicated to those who suffered in military brothels

Thousands of Chinese people have visited the memorial dedicated to the Chinese "comfort women" of World War II, the first of its kind on the Chinese mainland opened to the public earlier this month in Nanjing.

Tang Jiaguo, the adopted son of Lei Guiying, one of the "comfort women" who kept a bottle of powder used as a disinfectant and gave it to the memorial, said that being forced to be a sex slave destroyed his mother's life.
