      Himself - Former North Korean Prisoner: That first morning - outside the camp - was a big shock to me, I saw people just walking around freely, talking and laughing, and no one was there to guard them. Nobody was obliged to greet the agents when they crossed their path. The people all wore multicolored clothes, clothes they liked to wear. It seemed as if I had ended up in heaven.

    Interesting
    I've been interested in North Korea for years and have heard a few stories about people's escapes into China and then later resettling in South Korea. There's some good videos on YouTube about that. This one was different as Shin was born in a death camp and I'd never heard much of that experience before. It's incredible what this guy experienced in his life, and of course tragic too. Just today I happened to find the book Escape from Camp 14 in the library, so I'm guessing that will add more details to this remarkable story.
