A statue in a park north of Los Angeles is the focus of a battle over something that happened during World War II, in Asia. The statue in the city of Glendale honors what were known as "comfort women," mostly Korean and Chinese women or girls forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese army in the 1930s and '40s.
