han (for iris chang) ()

in memoriam of those lost to war, all those lost to history. the infusion of tragedy across lineage. part one is told from the perspective of a victim of World War II Japanese atrocities (or, rather, the second Sino Japanese War); part two details her daughter's movement through life without a mother, and the discovery that her father isn't her biological father; part three sees the granddaughter processing the things her mother and grandmother left for her (material and spiritual). more about the Comfort Women: https://www.awf.or.jp/e1/facts-12.html more about the Rape of Nanking: https://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/nanking.htm
