The Jeamni Massacre (Korean: 제암리 학살 사건; lit. Jeamni Massacre Incident) was the killing of Korean civilians by the Imperial Japanese Army inside a church in what is now Hwaseong, South Korea, near Suwon. To cover up the mass-killings, the Japanese soldiers burned the church down.[1] However, Canadian missionary Dr. Frank W. Schofield witnessed the aftermath of the slaughter and published a report on the event.
