The farmers who live outside the gates of the camps cannot pretend not to know what goes on beyond the fence. One recent defector. who lived in this area. described living near Camp 22 to his English teacher. who wrote about them in the Washington Post. According to this young North Korean refugee. because food and alcohol are scarce in the countryside. the camp guards sometimes went to his house to drink. usually heavily. In their intoxication. the guards would confess to their sense of remorse. When American soldiers and news cameras reached the gates of Dachau in 1945. we and millions of men and women of conscience throughout the world made a simple. solemn promise: "never again." Who among us today questions the righteousness of that promise?
