Hi guys, i just want to discuss about this, my country singapore was one of the countries occupied by japan in world war two, growing up in the 90s our only curriculum on the matter as i remembered was mainly about the japanese & the battles that occured in my country & around asia/pacific theaters but we have absolutely no idea how german nazis look except when i was growing up and learned more about how the war in europe went but that when i was 20+ & i was out of school on my own. We knew about the general alliance between germany, italy & japan but my history teacher don't teach much more that that, i assume this is the case for sowon as well, i also read this occurred in a cafe & not a museum which did not state the mannequin is a nazi soldier.
I think we all should not jump on sowon on this as this can be a lack of education regarding this topic, if i didn't actively google out or watch war movies about this i would not have known that is a nazi soldier either. Only americans & some parts of european countries can have both side of the history as they were actively involved in both theaters of the war so i can see why this is puzzling to many why people in asia have no knowledge of nazis or how they look like.
I think she should just apologise about this and brush up on her knowledge regarding this so as to prevent future misunderstanding.
Edit - I also lost my great grandfather during the war cause he fought against the japanese.
Edit 2 - I have no idea if the curriculum is similar to what my country has, i'm just saying this as a fellow asian and how i think about this.
Edit 3 - I might be wrong and she did this while fully knowing what that mannequin is, so please don't take my words as acknowledgment of her actions.
Disclaimer - I am not defending her and i think she should apologise but i am just giving out a perspective from my side as someone who lives in asia, our cultures here are pretty similar and i would like to think our education system are too as we are the first world countries of asia - south korea, japan, taiwan & singapore.
