Dr. Bong Hyun is a section dedicated to a remarkable man whom I have dubbed the Korean Schindler for his heroic efforts during the Korean War. Dr. Hyun helped save the lives of 100,000 North Korean Christian refugees in the Winter of 1950. He was also one of the first Asian-Americans to blaze a new trail in the medical field.
