尹奉吉의 金澤에서의 순국과 순국지

Abstract

Yoon, Bong-gil’s heroic deed in Shanghai made remarkable military achievements killing and injuring the Japanese military chief executives including Sirakawa Yoshinori, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese troops in Shanghai. Because of his heroic deed in Shanghai, Japanese victory in Shanghai Incident was put in the shade and Japanese imperialism lost its prestige in the international society. Therefore Japanese imperialism thought that its pride was severely damaged. As naturally its grudge focused on Yoon, Bong-gil, he was sentenced to death quickly on the 25th of May, a day before Sirakawa’s death. Japanese imperialism postponed executing him in order to check up on his background, however, in the end, executed him by firing in the midst of the secluded forest in the 9th Division of the Japanese Army located in Ganazawa. It was ascertained that Japanese imperialism issued a firing command in time of Sirakawa’s death. Therefore it seems that this means revenge for Sirakawa’s death. Moreover, Japanese imperialism gave Yoon, Bong-gil inhumane treatment firing at him after tying him up and making him kneel down on a rack. As the spot where he was shot to death is located in the camp of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, the general public’s access to the spot is controlled. Meanwhile, the work to ascertain the spot of his death was carried forward in secret. As the whole report about his death penalty fortunately included the outline map of the spot of his death and the topographical map of Ganazawas drawn in 1932 was acquired, it was possible to ascertain the spot of his death. As the work ascertains the historical spot where he was shot to death in secret by Japanese imperialism, it has its significance. It is my desire to make the spot open to the public and make it a cornerstone to build the amicable future between Korea and Japan.
