The Brothers' Home (Korean: 형제복지원) was an internment camp (officially a welfare facility) located in Busan, South Korea during the 1970s and 1980s . The camp was home to some of the worst human rights abuses in South Korea during the period of social purification[2] and has been nicknamed "Korea's Auschwitz" by various Korean media outlets.[3]
