I've related the situation in North Korea to the Holocaust, and I'm not the only one saying that. This is the most common comparison made when trying to explain what's happening; a simple Google search can show you that. This is because, it's true. The two situations are incredibly similar - gut-wrenchingly, sickeningly similar.
And yet, after 20 years the world still isn't taking a leading role in these atrocities. The majority of the world is ignoring it. In our age of technology, when we can see what's happening on the ground there from any computer, this is unacceptable.
But it occurs to me: Maybe the situation is so large that people are unsure of how to help.
I saw a TED Talk today, during which a North Korean refugee makes a suggestion for how we, as individuals can help. I'd like to share it with you. Please watch, think, and pray.
