Written by Kim Eun Ha and Illustrated by Yun Ye Ji


‘Dignity’ is the feeling that you and I are the only one in the world as well as the feeling that we are all irreplaceable and precious human beings. Therefore, ‘my’ dignity is also connected to others’ dignity. However, are we all respected and dignified properly in our society?

‘The Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ is the declaration consisting of 30 clauses about the dignity and rights of all human beings. People have made the declaration to reflect on themselves about two World Wars and Holocaust in 1948. Kim Eun Ha, the writer, recreated the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with specific words of our times, and Yoon Ye Ji, the illustrator, included her unique sentiments and abundant interpretations to express diverse ideas about dignity.
Readers can confirm whether our dignity is well respected through this book. Furthermore, the writer suggests us to deeply consider what the declaration of human rights is for me and us and to cry out loud our own dignity altogether.
