Pictures of A Leper Village in 1952 South Korea
I recently stumbled upon some high quality color photos of a leper village in South Korea during the Korean War:
According to the discussion in the Flickr comments section the leper village was in Daejon. Eventually the Korean government would round up and move all leprosy patients to Sorokdo Island. What a horrible disease to have, but fortunately today there is treatment for the disease and thus very rare.
That large hillside filled with graves-apparently this area eventually became a bus terminal in Daejon
