Abstract
The historical discourse surrounding Korea during the Japanese occupation and World War II has been dominated by stories of war and politics. In this thesis I add to that discourse to include the experiences of my paternal aunt, an ordinary woman who navigated the same geographic and temporal places. In offering the family stories in historical context, the role of memory and intent of the retelling are also explored.
