The Great Read



A NORTH KOREAN DISSIDENT DEFECTS TO THE AMERICAN RIGHT

Yeonmi Park’s account of the horrors of North Korea made her a human rights
celebrity. Her new claims that America is on the same path have made her a
right-wing media star.

“The first thing my mom taught me as a young girl living in North Korea was
don’t even whisper, because birds and mice could hear me,” Yeonmi Park told the
audience that had come to hear her speak in Queens.

“This is what dictators do: they plant a spike everywhere, a distrust between
people, a distrust between family, even. The teachers tell their children,” she
went on, “‘If your parents say one wrong thing, come to tell the teacher.’”
