At the time, leprosy was an ugly word for Koreans, and society sought to separate these individuals suffering from the malady, also known as Hansen's disease. The children of these people often endured harsh discrimination, and their parents wished for a better life for them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluding touching photos, \u003ci\u003eTake My Children\u003c\/i\u003e describes how Gottlieb's tenacity helped her to overcome the many hurdles to help these Korean children.
