Concentration Camps of North America Exhibit
By Anna Belcher
Journey to the top floor of McClain, room 206, between November 6 and the 15th and you will find an exhibition put on by Pray4NK, which is under Mosaic, depicting concentration camps in North Korea.
The goal of this group is to increase awareness of the current situation in North Korea. “We want people to realize that there are still concentration camps in the world,” says Cassie Elliott, leader of Pray4NK. “We learn about the holocaust in school so that something like that will never happen again, but something like that is happening now,” she says.
In North Korea, 150,000 people are confined in concentration camps; 30,000 of these are Christians sent there because of their faith.
The material that will be on display comes from an exhibition the Korean members of the group put on at Handong University in South Korea.
For anyone wanting to become more involved, Elliott urges prayer. Also, on Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. there will be a presentation and explanation of the exhibition, including time for questions, in McClain Auditorium. Pray4NK meets at 4 p.m. every Monday in the McClain prayer room, on the top floor of McClain.
