The Korean War is known to Koreans as yook-i-o (6-2-5). Although the Korean War is dubbed the "Forgotten War" in the United States, the infamous date 6.25 has never been forgotten by the Korean people. Sadly, this year marks the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War. It also commemorates the fact that the Korean War never officially ended because a peace treaty was never signed. Instead, the Korean Peninsula is still divided, families separated, and times lost.

Although 70 years have passed, we carry the trauma of war- in our minds, spirits and bodies whether we experienced the war directly or indirectly. We are bearers of pain and strength from the devastation.

Beginning May and throughout June, we have invited four key speakers to address the impact of the Korean War on North Korea. We hope you will be able to join in the webinar series to address
