1920년 간도 한인(조선인) 제노사이드에 동원된 한인 경찰 －순응, 협치, 제국의 대변자－

Abstract

This article analyzed the activities of the Korean (Korean) police mobilized at this time in 1920 when the imperial Japanese army slaughtered the Korean (Korean) in the name of “revengeing” independent forces in today's coastal area. 100 years later, it is not clear what role they played today. It was known that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Japanese Government- General of Korea selected and deployed domestic police officers under the pretext of maintaining security in the Gando(間島)area, and that they were mobilized by Genoside, a Korean citizen. However, it was revealed that Korean police officers, who were transferred during the Genoside period, were active in arresting or slaughtering immigrants with the Japanese military. Their official name was Cheering Police(‘應援警察’). Even during the “Jangamdong Massacre”, which was the most symbolic massacre at the time of Genoside, Gando Koreans, he not only actively supported the Japanese military but also participated directly. He was more active in returning home as a sign that he could protect migrants who were obsessed with the fear of slaughter as “Japanese New People.” Among them, he actively contributed to imperial Japan in the 1920s, and even after liberation, he jumped into the police in Korea. Even if those who sought to serve themselves while harming the safety of the national community can justify their actions with “coward excuses”, it cannot be denied as much as the historical facts that participated in the 1920 massacre.
