North Korean Defector Yeonmi Park’s Escape From ‘Evil’ — and America’s Political Left
The things Columbia University professors are telling their students are ‘almost identical to things that North Korean teachers taught us in North Korean classrooms.’
To the protesters on college campuses who have been chanting “Death to America” and “We are Hamas,” a North Korean defector and alumna of Columbia University, Yeonmi Park, has a message: “you don’t need to even destroy America. You can just go to North Korea or go to Palestine, whatever the paradise they describe is,” she tells the Sun. “If you genuinely believe America is that evil, you would do whatever it takes to escape from America.”
Few others understand what it means to escape evil like Ms. Park, who became a household name for her 2015 bestselling memoir, “In Order to Live,” which details her life under the Communist dictatorship of North Korea. She fled in 2007 at the age of 13 to Communist China, where she was trafficked as a sex slave, and then journeyed to Mongolia, South Korea, and ultimately America.
