Unbelievable read....

I just finished reading Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West by Blaine Harden. It is the story of Shin Dong-hyuk, born in Camp 14 in North Korea, a prison camp for political prisoners. His birth came as a result of a "Reward Marriage" to 2 prisoners, and from birth was basically raised to be forced labor and a snitch for the ruthless guards who ran the Camp. It is a heartbreaking story of the cold and cruel world created by North Korean rulers Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and the continued by the current leader Kim Jonh-un. Shin, through luck and miracles, was able to escape from the camp. He traveled north to the border and crossed into China and eventually made it to South Korea and the United States. The story pulls the reader in and shows you what it was like to grow up in a place where a "teacher" could beat a child to death with a pointer simply because they had a few grains of rice or corn in their pockets. It also shows the difficulty that he experiences trying to adjust to living in a free country. His paranoia, lack of trust, and lack of knowledge of anything makes it difficult to make friends, or hold down a job. It makes me so angry that this is allowed to continue. Why don't other countries stop it? Why aren't more people as angry as I am?
