臨時政府 樹立 이후의 獨立鬪爭과 西大門刑務所

The independence struggle after the establishment of provisional government and Seo Dae Moon prison

Seo Dae Moon prison was an evil reputation as the korea racial independence movement activists struggled when they were arrested and it was a place of our personal experiences of the independence history integrated with racial struggle, suffering, astonishment, pain, scream, grief and a place of dying for our country. Therefore, it should be rightly holy grounded because a number of movement activists resolutely served their term of imprisonment there even though they were put in prison for about 40 years occupied by force of japan. It is also a place of grief’s history where the korean provisional government’s activists, korean resistance, 6ㆍ10 movement main activists, soo won high school students’ movement against japan main activists, Sin Gan club’s activists, and movement activists against japan related to Soo Yang club, the event of korean linguistic club, the event of shortwave broadcasting, and so on in and out of korea were put in prison by japan or were dead for our country in prison. There were a number of racial activists put in prison at that time but, their common life was very hard to live even a day because of harsh torture, starvation and there were no people to want to ask to see them because of the revenge of japan such as arrest, being shadowed, observation. Seo Dae Moon prison, the first address of the nationalist movement, has been left as it is and used as a common prison for common offenders losing, turning away this historic worth. But in 1998, it was founded as Seo Dae Moon prison historic place as the result of an effort to use for a place of the national historic education. That is to say, it is meaningful that Seo Dae Moon prison reputed an evil is not a place of restriction but a historic, educational place to feel the patriotic noble breathing of pioneers who resisted against japan for the restoration of independence to a country and to use scientific purpose. In addition, we need an effort and the spread supply of national awareness to use the worth the most what it has.
