The system in which untold thousands of women, euphemistically known as 'comfort women,' were rounded up and imprisoned in 'comfort stations' established and maintained by the Japanese military seized public attention in 1991.... Yoshimi Yoshiaki provides a wealth of documentation and testimony to prove the existence of some 2,000 centers where as many as 200,000 Korean, Filipina, Taiwanese, Indonesian, Burmese, Dutch, Australian, and some Japanese women were restrained for months....
