An exhibition about a painful chapter of history opened on Sunday in Taipei, which traces a group of former comfort women's grueling process of seeking justice from the Japanese government. The surviving members stress that financial compensation is not what they are after; all they want is just an apology from the perpetrators.

These 4 grandmothers are not afraid of the camera, as they bravely stand up and talk about the inhumane experience of being comfort women at the hands of the Japanese.

Since 1999, they have brought a lawsuit against the government of Japan, and in 2000, they worked with the Japanese NGO, Violence Against Women in War - Network Japan to launch the suit in Tokyo.

Years later, they documented their journey and attending the legal proceedings in text and photos.

Even though it has been 65 years since Japan's defeat in World War II, these former Taiwanese comfort women, said they do not want money.

Instead, they want a simple apology.

Although Japanese courts ruled against them, exhausting their third and final right to appeal though these grandmothers still hold out hope for justice.

They have even enlisted the support of President Ma.

Of the 58 former Taiwanese comfort women, only 13 are currently alive, and they have at most 8 to 10 years left.

While some find it difficult to move, their biggest wish is living long enough to hear an apology from the Japanese government.
