Korea has two new additions to UNESCO′s
documentary heritage list.
They are a set of Confucian printing woodblocks
and an over thirty－year－old local TV broadcast
that reunited families separated by the Korean
War.
The woodblocks are comprised of more than
64－thousand pages of 718 kinds of books
written by Confucian scholars during the Joseon
Dynasty， when the ideology served as the
ruling philosophy.
The TV broadcast ″Finding Dispersed Families，″...
aired by local broadcaster KBS in 1983，...
was recognized for the way it captured the
sorrow and the joy of North and South Koreans
being reunited after so many decades apart.
Outside of Korea，... records related to
the 1937 Nanjing Massacre were inscribed on
the UNESCO Memory of the World International
Register.
They document the Japanese Army′s rampage
during which it killed up to 300－thousand
Chinese men， women and children.
UNESCO，... however，... did not recognize
archives on Japan′s wartime sexual enslavement
of women for which China had also sought inscription.
