The View From Over Here has an excellent summary of her recent visit to the House of Sharing [나눔의 집], complete with pictures. The Korean encourages everyone to take a look.  A sample:
Sunday I had an amazing opportunity to visit the House of Sharing in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do province, about 45 minutes from Seoul. This is a house where women who survived sexual slavery by the Japanese military during Japan's military expansion into the rest of Asia before and during World War II. ...

The women, who were 80-90% Korean, were given Japanese names, usually flower names, and each woman's name was placed on a wooden placard on the wall which is quite similar to menus in a Japanese restaurant. When a woman was unavailable for a day due to illness or other reasons, the placard was turned over, just as a sold out item would be in a restaurant.
