Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
In May 2025, the Korea-Israel Bible Institute, one of the oldest Christian Zionist groups in South Korea, inaugurated the Holocaust Museum in Paju, a border city next to North Korea. The city is marked by Korea’s collective trauma from Japanese colonialism, the Korean War, and the division of North and South Korea. This paper investigates the significance of Paju in Korean Christian Zionist political theology and practices. The paper will argue how the Holocaust Museum of Korea serves to localize Christian Zionism in the divided country and disseminate its theo-political visions for the future, reflecting a complex interplay of religious, political, and spatial narratives with historical remembrance.
