#3 God watch over them, and keep them safe--those who escaped, and those who are helping them.

#4 Looks like your standard concentration camp. Too bad the NKor regime is untouchable, due to their good friends in the DNC and EU/UN.

#5 As others have said: God bless and keep them safe. They have earned the Liberty that was gifted to me by my ancestors and is protected every day by the men and women of our armed forces. I am more grateful than I can say for the comfort, safety and opportunity afforded my family, my friends and myself. Today I am working in a quiet office while those poor souls scramble to stay alive.

#6 That's both very sad, and hopeful. I do hope as many as possible will make it safely to freedom (or at least in china), but in the same time I fear retributions will be dire for thoses who stayed, and for their relatives, their villages,...
That so many still look up to nork is an odious mystery to me.
Communism is not acknowledged as the exact same brand of evil as nazism was, in fact it still enjoys a broad intellectual support and still dominates the left, and that impunity is a real tragedy, because it is a second death for the multitude it killed, starved, crushed and enslaved.

#7 Isn't there a song that goes "Run for the border"?

I wonder if Mr. White and Mr. Black were involved?

#8 Mods,

If you go to google, click on "images", then google "great escape" you'll find some terrific pics of Steve McQueen suitable for a graphic for this story.
