# Korea Exhibit poster No. 2b: soldier's testimony (Thai, distributed in Bangkok)

A Thai-language exhibit sheet. At top, a uniformed sergeant stands beside a large photograph of bodies on a slope and a map marked 38 and Kaesong; a caption says he points to the pit in which he was buried alive for 52 hours after being captured and shot. Below, overlapping pages of typed Thai text are arranged as a collage of statements. The tell is testimonial: a named survivor and typed statements stand in for proof.
