The plight of the Korean "Comfort Women" is also discussed in this excellent book.

Japan has never formally apologized to either China nor Korea for the atrocities it committed prior to and during WW II. They also only vaguely teach it in school, focusing more on the atomic bombs dropped on Japan (which is another thread).

I Googled, and this area of NJ has a rather large Japanese (NOT Japanese-American population).
