Finding out what South Korea's popular children's social studies comic book series Monnara Iunnara has to say about the world. The majority of this blog consists of direct quotes, many racist and antisemitic ones at that. They are being translated here in order to throw light on the counter-factual nature of many of the book series' claims. For new readers, you should start by reading Chapter 8, linked conveniently in the sidebar under Press. Please note that the books are not textbooks.

I really don't wanna register, because everything is out of my mind.
It is really good English for my convenience.
I have started admiring Korea after visiting this blog. I am really grateful for your kindness that you have published your blog in English.
Registering that was not so easy.This was really something hard to know about that.
I must say that about the post is the post is really awesome.
There is ongoing dispute about whether or not he was a Jew but the matter is not clear.
Talking about disgust i saw yesterday a movie and i think it was the worst movie ever...i even forget the name...
The way of presentation is really impressive.This is the best way of describing something.
