【新聞稿】
樂生保留自救會及國際愛地芽台灣分會(IDEA Taiwan)，最近終於有機會要出自己的新書了。《青春夢迴，樂生八十》這一本攝影集收錄了樂生院八十年來院民的青春回憶影像，以及近年人權及保存運動「抗戰八年」的影像全紀錄。漢生病舊稱痲瘋病，一種古老的疾病，二千年前聖經就有記載。這本書雖然只有收錄樂生院八十年影像，尤如蒼海一粟，然而若回眸近代全球百年醫學，將糾纏人類數千年的可怕疾病終結絕跡。這八十年就相當重要。
這本書以樂生院民生命史記『民眾史』的角度出版。網羅了超過五十位樂生院民青春年代老照片以及人權保存運動近「八年抗戰」精彩影像。更特別地，這本書內許多數十年前老照片多由書中人物珍藏提供的。阿梅姨透露，以前哪有人敢曝光在人前，但這幾年的抗爭，樂生不再閉鎖了，她才鼓起勇氣拿出照片出版，希望各界瞭解這段歷史。鮮少現身公眾場合的戰前阿嬤阿音也拿出珍藏的年輕照片。哇，挖到寶了，是院內美女合影。當真讓人得以一窺樂生人青春的一面，相當令人感動。老奶奶最後還同意拍張近照放入書內。她們的影像見證了樂生院的歷史。這本書的出版其中一點重要的意義，因為她正代表受害者終於能在晚年走出樂生院早年的污名世界，勇敢地面對過往的一切，擁抱這個世界，她們的勇氣值得喝采。
樂生院從1930年創院至今已走過八十個年頭，這些年在人類歷史上其實尤如白駒過隙，驚鴻一撇。然而樂生院民持續呼喊正義、捍衛家園的呼聲，尤如暮鼓晨鍾，振憾整個世界。受到樂生院民人權及史蹟保存運動決心的影響，10月份國際IDEA總會寄來明年推動「全球串連，漢生跨國申遺的行動」的邀請函，希望連結全球在二戰前後設立的病院，呼籲聯合國指定跨國世界遺產，以紀念漢生病友被近兩百年來，曾經被暴政犧牲的歷史；並紀念全世界曾經受苦卻勇敢走向人群，呼喚人權正義的漢生鬥士。本書的出版，正希望能夠紀錄更多樂生院漢生鬥士為改善人權保存歷史的奮鬥容顏。而本書所有義賣的費用，將全數支持樂生保存，以及明年5月在紐約推動全球漢生病遺址跨國申遺工作。讓飽受污名遺害的病友，得享尊嚴的晚年。
最近樂生院走山危機卻持續擴大當中，樂生山坡表面的裂縫雖然僅幾mm，然而出現的數據，地底三十幾米以下已經出現了將近十公分整塊滑動面。在歲末此時，學生們協助老人家發起了「SOS，土方回填，救救樂生」行動。
希望這本書的出版，能夠喚起我們國家領導人，看到樂生院民用一生書寫的歷史。如同夏威夷卡魯帕帕(Kalaupapa)島上紀念碑所記「這裡紀念了我們的人民，紀念一個國家充滿危機的時代，紀念過去，一個人權被泯滅的時代，讓我們用這塊土地，獻給我們國家中，最偉大的幾個人，並且理解人類歷史」。
僅以這本書獻給全球經歷共同命運的病友。

These segregation policies made the public in the world panic and discriminate against leprosy patience’s and their families and affected hundreds of thousands people for over a century, many people lived in stigma without human rights and dignity. This is a dark page in human history.
We discovered that some kinds of those segregation sites even more early than Nazi's concentration camp which UNESCO have designated to be the World Heritage for educating the next generations.
A fames historian, Michel. Foucault had talking about the background and symbolisms of such segregation policies for leprosy in” Madness & Civilization”. It was indicating that the global leprosy segregated sites are very important for the development of human civilization to thinking one more and more again.” What his words also indicating the history and the memory sites are very worth to be appointed to be the World Heritages.
