IN 2021 the Daily Worker (predecessor of today’s Morning Star) correspondent Alan Winnington’s photographs returned to Korea. They were part of an exhibition detailing a massacre in July 1950.
These mass killings were of around 1,800 to 7,000 “leftists” in the early stages of the Korean war. They had taken place at the outskirts of a city called Daejeon.
Winnington wrote about this incident in his pamphlet I Saw the Truth in Korea (1950). The journalist only took photographs at this one place, but he heard stories of similar massacres in every town and city he visited.
