The Brothers' Home (Korean: 형제복지원) was an internment camp (officially a welfare facility) located in Busan, South Korea during the 1970s and 1980s. During its operation, it held 20 factories and thousands of people who were rounded up off of the street, homeless people, some of whom were children, in addition to college students who were protesting the regime. Only 10% of internees were actually homeless.[2] The camp was home to some of the worst human rights abuses in South Korea during the period[3] and has been nicknamed "Korea's Auschwitz" by various Korean media outlets.[4]
