I hate to admit it, but I doubt the Japanese government is reading Wordie profiles.

This book sounds intense. I love that which exposes brutal truths like this. But this Text-Dump leads me to believe you're some kind of Spam-bot. Which would make you possibily the oddest type of spam-bot I have ever seen, considering the content.

To the Japanese Goverment This is a letter of protest on behalf of the Asian women who were forced to serve the Japanese army as prostitutes, “comfort women�?, during the Second World War. Some 200,000 women from Korea, China, the Philippines and other countries in the Pacific were forced to suffer at the hands of the Japanese under conditions that rivaled the worst of the atrocities of the German Nazis. In the interests of justice and simple decency, I demand that the government of Japan publicly admit its country’s crimes against these women and offer apologies to them and to the world. In some countries such as Korea it is mistakenly believed that the comfort women were willing collaborators. This is a lie that has in part been fed by misinformation from the Japanese government itself. As a result the surviving women and their families are afraid to come forward publicly because they know that they might be shamed and ostracized by their fellow countrymen. The government of Japan has a moral obligation to make clear to the world that the comfort women were not collaborators, but were victims who were forced into prostitution under threat of death. I have seen photographs taken by Japanese soldiers themselves of the girls whom they brutalized who were too young to have willingly collaborated in their own humiliation. The older women in the photographs have clearly been raped and tortured. It is also high time that the government of Japan seeks out the families of the comfort women, as well as the few remaining survivors themselves, and offer direct apologies to them as well as appropriate compensation, Sincerely Nily Naiman

POST TRAUMA SILENCE
By Nily Naiman
"MONGOLIA"
Post-traumatic stress in adults and children can express itself in a variety of ways. One of these is withdrawal from social interaction, and one of the most effective means of withdrawal is self-imposed silence, or muteness. In such cases the traumatized individual, by becoming and remaining mute, creates a permanent safety bubble of sorts that allows necessary and unavoidable interactions with others to continue, while cutting off the threat of having to establish the degree of communication that might require having to relive or having to reveal to another person the pain, horror, or profound humiliation of the traumatic incident. .
In her new novel, Mongolia, author Nily Naiman examines the phenomenon of post-traumatic silence in depth through the main character, Lana, who first suffers muteness as a young teenager because of irrational guilt feelings over the suicide death of her sister, and later experiences it again after the death of her first husband in a tragic accident. Lana’s grown daughter, Bayar, similarly escapes into the false safety of muteness after being brutally raped. In both instances with Lana, as well as in the case of Bayar, the ongoing support of family and friends is not sufficient to break them out of the syndrome. It is an eventual shock of another kind that ultimately brings them back into full communication with those around them. Through Mongolia Naiman brings to the world’s attention this little-known pattern of behavioral retreat from which the author herself has suffered.
Individuals who have suffered from post-traumatic silence are invited to submit their testimonies and comments to nilynaiman@hotmail.com and to chipmunkapublishing.com to help the author bring the world to an awareness of this disease.
The book is now for sale at chipmunkapublishing.com, barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, and all internet booksellers.

In the novel Tambourine, author Nily Naiman brings this syndrome to the world’s attention through her portrayal of a nine-year-old Gypsy girl, Gisele, who is raped by a Nazi soldier when a group of them raid her family’s encampment in war-time France. Gisele slowly recovers from the shock of the incident, and eventually communicates with the adults through sign language; but she holds on to the muteness as a safe retreat, a sure place where she will not have to speak of what she went through. Ultimately, it is the later brutal murder of her brother and others in her family by the Nazis that breaks her out of the bond of silence in which she has enveloped herself.

THe Gipsy Parrajmos
By Nily Naiman
>> View all
The Parrajmos (the great devouring), the holocaust of the Romani people, the Gypsies, was rooted in hatreds that preceded the Second World War. For hundreds of years harsh measures had been taken against Gypsies in Europe. In Germany they were hunted for sport as animals, and huntsmen would return proudly displaying the severed heads that they had taken as souvenirs. Beginning in 1890 many European countries passed a variety of laws restricting “the Gypsy filth�?, placing limits on their interactions with the general population and prohibiting them from engaging in trades or owning land.
Upon coming to power the Nazis reinstituted anti-Gypsy laws that had been on the books since the Middle Ages. But with their racist ideology they soon moved beyond those statutes. The Nazis established the Racial Hygiene and Criminal Biology Research Unit. This institution concluded that Gypsies were sub-humans.
On June 11, 1941, three hundred teenage Gypsy boys were sent to a camp in Austria were they were used to test the effectiveness of the gas chambers. None survived
More then 3000 Gypsy prisoners died in French camps from disease and starvation, and almost 13.000 were sent just from Drancy in France to death camps such as Auschwitz where they were gassed upon arrival. Other transit camps in France from which Gypsies were sent to their deaths included Noe, Gurs, Recebedou, and others.
It is estimated that by the end of the war the Nazis and their minions had murdered seventy to eighty per cent of the Gypsy population of Europe. Approximately 675,000 of these deaths were registered, but many more went unrecorded.
At the Nuremberg trials no representatives of the Gypsies were called to bear witness. No war crimes reparations have been paid to the Roma as a people.
