폐쇄된 북한 사회에서 약 30년 동안 전례 없는 인도주의 구호 활동을 펼쳐 온 스위스 출신 활동가 카티 첼베거의 실화를 담은 기록입니다.
한반도를 둘러싼 첨예한 군사적 긴장과 정치적 갈등 속에서도 북한의 가장 취약한 이들을 돕기 위해 헌신한 현장 구호가의 여정을 생생하게 전합니다. 의심 가득한 관료들과의 끈질긴 협상, 구호 물자 전용에 대한 국제사회의 우려를 극복하며 식량과 의약품, 개발 원조를 이끌어 수천 명의 어린 목숨을 살려낸 궤적을 조명합니다. 세계로부터 외면받던 이들의 고통에 응답하며 ‘북한의 마더 테레사’로 불린 한 여성의 용기와 숭고한 인류애를 기록했습니다.
The remarkable story of Swiss aid worker Kathi Zellweger, whose history of engagement with a secretive, isolated North Korea over nearly three decades is unprecedented in its scope, access, and humanitarian impact.
One of the first book-length accounts in English by an aid worker operating on the ground in North Korea, Miss Kathi chronicles the story of a woman who has lived out her commitment to the poor and most vulnerable—undaunted by the tensions and threat of conflict perpetually looming over the Korean peninsula.
For many North Koreans, Kathi Zellweger—a native of Switzerland—was the first foreigner they had ever met or even seen. Playing a central role in the early years of international relief efforts in North Korea was a lonely job, as Kathi addressed the humanitarian needs of a suffering people largely ignored by the world because of their citizenship. She befriended local doctors, nurses, and caregivers; negotiated with suspicious government officials; overcame international doubts about the diversion of relief supplies to the military; and, over a period of years, spearheaded an effort that provided food, medicine, and development aid. Ultimately, her efforts saved the lives of thousands of people—most of them children.
As one official in Pyongyang emotionally declared to her during a visit in the late 1990s, even though she was in no way a missionary, “Miss Kathi—you are the Mother Teresa of North Korea!”
