Brothers Home

Uncommon card · No. 154083

The Brothers' Home (Korean: 형제복지원) was an internment camp (officially a welfare facility) located in Busan, South Korea during the 1970s and 1980s. The facility contained 20 factories and held thousands of people who were rounded up off the street, homeless people, children, and student protesters who opposed the government. The camp was used to perpetuate numerous human rights abuses in South Korea during the period of social purification. A 2022 report by the South Korean Truth and Reconciliation Commission concluded that, from 1975 to 1988, a total of 657 people died inside Brothers' Home. The center has since been dubbed "Korea's Auschwitz" by various Korean media outlets.
