2009 marks the centennial Ahn Jung-geuns assassination of Ito Hirobumi, and 2010 marks the centennial of Ahn’s death. At numerous academic seminars and events in Korea and abroad, Ahn Jung-geun is exalted as the “guiding light of 100 years” and his family, as an “upstanding family that produced national heros of the independence movement.” What is worrisome is that with this repeated glorification, the lives and deaths of Ahn’s family members, many of whom had led difficult lives, are receding further into the depths of oblivion. The purpose of this study is to retrieve these family members from the darkness of oblivion and reinstate them into the domain of public memory. In addition to honoring Ahn Jung-geun and his family with the Order of Merit for National Foundation, it is just as important to actually take an active interest in Ahn’s family. Due to Ahn’s activities and place in Korean history, his family members were unable to lead ordinary lives and scattered to various corners of the world. Ultimately, the descendents of Ahn’s sons ended up in the United States, while his daughters’ descendents settled in South Korea. Ahn’s younger brother Jeong-geun’s descendents are in South Korea and the United States, while the descendents of Gong-geun, the other younger brother, are in North Korea and Panama. Organizing a centenary family reunion is just as important as the Order of Merit and the recovery of Ahn Jung-geun’s remains. When it comes to the recovery of remains, all attention is focused solely on Ahn Jung-geun’s remains. There have not been any official surveys of the graves of Maria Cho (mother), Kim A-ryeo (wife), or Ahn Jeong-geun (brother), all of which are in Shanghai. Similarly, no official search has been launched to locate the remains of Ahn Gong-geun (brother), which went missing in Chongqing. Although the grave of Ahn Seong-nyeo (sister) was confirmed to be in Busan, the only caretakers are her family. Moreover, Ahn Mi-saeng (niece), whose grave is in the United States, should be brought back to Korea so that she can be laid to rest by her husband’s side. At the very least, the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall, which is currently under construction, must provide a space in which the scattered lives and deaths of the Ahn household can be organized and made coherent. For the present-day application of Ahn’s “Treatise on Peace in Asia”, we cannot skirt the issue of the peaceful reunification of the two Koreas, which in turn, is linked to the issue of world peace. Ahn Jung-geun’s family is a symbol of the movement for peaceful reunification as well as a symbol of Korea’s many separated families on either sides of the DMZ and around the world. Organizing the lives and deaths of Ahn’s family members is also a step toward peace on the Korean Peninsula, peace in East Asia, and peace in the world. Needless to say, Ahn’s family should not be accorded preferential treatment or evaluation. Furthermore, the principal agent of history is the individual, not the family. This paper maintains that while Ahn’s family should be evaluated against generally accepted standards, there also must be a realization that to the same extent that Ahn has been exalted under the most luminous of lights, Ahn’s family has been pushed into the darkest of shadows. This is not a matter of understanding and consideration; it is a matter of coming face-to-face with life and history. As Ahn’s name spread throughout the world, his family scattered to various corners of the globe. Such a family history must be organized and made coherent. For Ahn to serve as a guiding light for a millennium, his family’s history, which had remained in the shadowy depths of oblivion, must be retrieved and placed in the collective memory of history.
