Hi, how are you. I'm ok. Have a nice day.
I was moved and disturbed by the story told here. It has motivated me to read more on crimes committed (by all sides) during wartime, to try and understand why this happened, and what can be done to ensure it doesn't happen again. I challenge everyone who comes across this WWW page to think on it.
i feel your page to be disturbing , yet it happened , so it was not only shocking , it was alien to the human race.
I saw a reference some months age to a book on Unit 731, but haven't been able to find out anything else. If such a thing exists, I'd like to know. Your article by far the most substantive piece I've seen so far. With reference to the travelling 731 exhibit in Japan, is there a catalog or guide? I support what I take to be your project of disseminating info on cultural pathologies and awfulness; let no one's excuse be, "I didn't know." As a historic preservationist, I am interested in curatorial management of negative history in the built world; in particular, how to enable citizen participation in expanding the data base and marking the sites, with the idea of democratizing history and proliferating viewpoints. The Texas Historical Commission, for example, is developing a GIF mapping of the state's cultural resources, to which any group or party might conceivably add their icons marking, say, lynchings. Conversely, markers at the site could refer to the netaddress of the GIF and the elaborating texts, comment files, etc. associated with the site. Anyway, thanks to zero.tolerance for its valuable example. YOUR feedback is appreciated. Larry Schroeder, larrys@mail.utexas.edu
Being a northeast Chinese, I thank the author of this page for his engagement! Being a netizen, I think the page is a good tibute on the internet to teach young people to learn from history.
A grim reminder about the darkside of humanity. I hope that people will read this, and learn from the past. If eyes can be opened, and lessons taught, then perhaps we can prevent (and stop) this from happening again......
A book titled Unit 713: Testimony Japans Wartime human experimentation and the post war cover up. Is supposed to be in bookstores in the United States in November 11, 1995.
I really liked the article. I have been in a discussion with a physician about HIV and he maintains that not only was HIV man-made, but some of the data on Infectious Equine Anaemia, which bears an almost identical DNA crossection as HIV, was aquired from German Concentration camps, and Unit 731. In addition he adds that the germans have been experimenting on foundlings since WWI, when Pneumocystic Carinii Pneumonia was discovered. He makes very clear links between the German biological war effort, and the Japanese experimentation.

Hello, I'm an international student from Japan. Thankyou for posting this article. I never got taught about this incident in my school years, and it makes me so mad. Japan should pay back!!!
Hello, I am a student at Loyola University Chicago. I am currently gathering information to do a paper on this subject. If anyone has resources or information on this topic, especially info. adressing the lack of public knowledge concerning the Japanese POW camps, I would greatly appreciate it. My e-mail adress is rhallor@luc.edu. Thank you, Rachael Halloran
I am doing a reserch paper of the Auschwitz Gas Chambers, but all the infr. on the Net. is saying their was no such place, and it never happen..I do beleive this act of mass murder did take place but I have no proof.. Where can I look,,or read..ect robitais@mcnet.marietta.edu

Hello. Thank you for educating people on the atrocities committed in Asia during World War II which remain widely unknown in the United States. I accessed this website on a search for information on Harbin, China - the birthplace of my girlfriend. I am American. C. Jones Los Angeles, California
Hi, I'm an Oberlin College student. I'm currently working on a private reading on the Japanese 'No War' resolution that commemorated the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII. Could someone tell me where I can find more information about how Japanese citizens themselves feel about Japan apologizing for WWII and the no war resolution? I'll check this site everyonce in a while.
I found this article difficult to read, as I've spent a couple of months in Japan, and found the place and the people absolutely wonderful. It is nigh impossible to make a connection between the atrocities detailed on this site and my own experiences with the Japanese natives. I can only hope that the history detailed here will remain history, and will not be repeated.
unit 731, sounds like a throbbing gristle song
Thank you :)
After living in rural Japan and teaching in numerous junior high schools for three years I know Japanese students do not learn about the atrocities committed by the Japanese in WWII. The most common excuse for concealing this part of their history was that Japanese students are too sensitive to hear about atrocities. (There were, however, graphic descriptions in the textbooks of the human misery that followed the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki). In reality, I think the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of MONBUSHO -- the conservative Japanese Education Ministry -- which has the power to approve the language of the texts. Consequently, Japanese children are intentionally not taught about the use of 'comfort women' by Japanese troops, the Rape of Nanjing, or the colonialization of Korea. I hope you can provide a Japanese version of this page.
I am a student of History at monash university Australia. Your article was very disturbing ,however it is important that humanity confronts its past. "THOSE WHO DO NOT STUDY HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT."I hope the Japanese people take note of this.
HELLO. I'm wondering if the Nazi medical experiment results were actually printed in american medical journals. I would be greatly concerned about the ethics of this. Also, I have thought of this subject as a topic for an ethics paper at school so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Rich Haire(Orthorich@aol.com.)
This stuff is worse than horror movies. Its horrable. I hope that such inhumane things will never again be commited.
Sorry I think I'm in the wrong place even though I agree with your opinions all the way. In fact I need colect some data concerning the AIDS' origins and how it spreaded to the whole world, in a few words if possible. Anyway I'll be coming back very often over here... Thanks a lot. flavio@fortalnet.com.br
I am student at Susquehanna University. I have been doing research on the experiments the Nazis performed. I've found some information on it and have used the information in this page. With all my searches about human medical experiments this is the first I have heard about the Japanese. I think it is very good that you are keeping the world infor med.My research is about whether we should use any of the information that is gathered from these experiments. Any comments? Fortier@bell.susqu.edu
HEY! Has anyone heard of Bosnia?!
This is not the site to go to if you want to be entertained - but to think.
I think that the internet is far too slow and there is not enough relavent imformation and alot of waffle.

Hi, you wanted feedback, we feel that this is a very sensitive subject that has been tactfully delt with without losing any of its force there should be more of this work done in order to inform the uninformed, maybe if this happens others will be less ignorant in the future. Well done.

Thank you for providing the truth. I have testified twice before Congressional Subcommittees regarding Unit 731. Greg Rodriquez Jr.
I am deeply saddened--not only for the atrocities that have occurred, but but that our country allowed this to be covered up. The Holocaust was heinous; but any behaviors such as this is heinous...on whomever, where- ever! May God be merciful and forgive us for what we have done.
Rep. Robert K. Dornan has introduced a nonbinding concurrent resolution that would call for the Japanese to release all records on Unit 731 The National Convention of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor will be held in Albuquerque, NM May 11-15 l996. New information on 731 to be released. For more information contact Shaman4@ix.netcom.com or come to the convention at the Hilton. MacArthur knew about Ishii and betrayed the men of Mukden. See the Mukden files for more information.
this has subbstantial information on unit 731 what is out there is so hard to find that you should get to the point and not just skimming the top of it . that is all I have to say.
Great page I will use in my classroom. Do you know the name of the Japanese who handled Russian concentration camp similar to Oscar Shindler? I listen to a bit on NPR but then missed his name. Would like to do something with that in my classroom. Thanks for the help. Ricki

Thanks for the lesson. The only war is Total War. If your goal is to win the war, you have to destroy your enemey, Heart and Soul. You have to do things that go beyond common sense so that War is eventually left alone and the winner has total control. If you think about it acts like this tend to make man shy away from conflict, Is that all bad? War is such a tremendous motivator for peace.
I find it sickining that after all this time, that the Japenese still don't seem to realize all that they did during WWII. One the 54th annaversary a Japanese buisness leader tried to publish a note in the NY times saying that the Japanese commited no atrocites during WWII. Thankfully, the times refused. At least there is still one patrotic organization left.
Hi Andreas, I like the interactivity and the bleakness of the issues represented at your page. So that's what zero tolerance was reffered to? And btw - despite so close experiences with inhumanity fifty years ago, it seems that our ugly race still didn't change its ways much, at least judging by Rwanda and Bosnia. I hope you get T1 soon. I died of impatience waiting certain parts on your site to open. I did came back to life little later. ivo (this is written from 731 page)
Cool page. Especially since I have to do a report on WW2.
Thank you for the Unit 731 page. Being a Chinese born and raised in Tokyo, it had always been frustrating to have my Japanese friends and peers possess absolutely *zero* knowledge of wartime atrocities beyond vague buzzwords ("Something in Nanjing; Something about biological experiments..."). A lot of this information just isn't available in Japan. I had caught an NHK TV special during my last visit there, totally by chance while channel-surfing; it had great content, but even that program didn't mention the fate of the perpetrators. Today was the first time I learned of the Green Cross Pharmaceuticals connection. You've got to create a Japanese JIS-coded version of this page!--The youths in Japan are, thankfully, far more PC- and Net-savvy than their middle-aged counterparts--and it is that segment of the population that must be exposed to the truths about their history. As well-done and compelling as this site is, I don't think that it is anywhere near achieving its full potential unless the Net users *in Japan* are made aware of, and can easily access, the contents of this page. I mean, no one in Japan is going to go out of their way to enter "731" "Japan" and "Manchuria" into, say, a Yahoo-Japan engine. It looks like a number of Japanese university students have bumped into this page; might one of you be willing/able to take on a collaborative project like this? It would certainly be exciting to see this kind of information flow freely, without the Ministry of Education covering everything up.
Humans are capable of doing the most vile things to each other, either either in the name of technological advance or ideological belief. A thought provoking, unsensational page.
There're so many cruel and evil things Japan did to Korean people for a half centry. I wouldn't be able to forget and forgive their wicked hehaviors. While Japan was controlling Korea as a colony, they broke the second world war. They dragged hundreds and thousands of healthy young men to the battle fields and young women to console Japanese soldiers. But they denied that and ignore that. However there are many women made to do that are still alive and witnessed. When in the world will they admit their faults honestly and try to do right things. I will wait and see.
While this page is indeed an important one, I would recommend only that the details of the article be cleaned up. Small errors here and there, gramatically and factually, do not help in arguing such a sensitive issue. For instance, is it Nobuo Kamado or Kamaden? It is a small criticism, I admit, but even small mistakes call the evidence into question. That said, I would add my voice to all the others here urging you to make this page accessible, in Japanese, to a Japanese audience. Having lived there I can also attest to the appalling naivete of the Japanese regarding the darker aspects of their recent history. A collective crisis of conscience is long overdue there. That said, I also think it's important not to demonize a whole race, and to remind ourselves that humans of every stripe and creed have proven perfectly capable of brutality and horror. That includes everyone from the Incan rulers who slaughtered whole tribes in the interest of empire, to the Europeans who swarmed across the New World like a plague. For better or worse, we are all in it together.
Your text is really good and interesting, but is also very long! I think you should show more pictures in order to cath the reader`s attention, and make the information less tiring. HELGA STEIN
Simply by doing scant research and personal reading, I have come to the following conclusion: The Japanese were guilty of horrific war crimes almost to the same degree as the Germans. When I say,"almost to the same degree," I mean that Japanese crimes of war weren't as obvious. For some reason -and it probably is a justifiable reason- Japanese war crimes were not exposed or rehatched with the same degree of intensity. Simply my observation. Thomas F. Lynch, Capt. USMCRES

I think that what the Japanese did is a disgrace to the human race. This act of infamy should not be tolerated. The members of Unit 731 should be punished for their horrendous crimes against humanity. Such atrocities must not be committed with impunity! David Hamilton Nichols
Japanese should admit their war crimes and disclose their history. The descendants of Japan should be taught what their anscestors did during the war. And before the witnesses and victims die, documentation should be completed. And many Asians should speak up what they want actively and specifically. What in the world are the governments of many Asian countries doing to get official apology and actual compensation.
When will a Japanese language version of this web page be ready?
Notice that some members of 731 survived and still have their politic power in Japanese government.
I am at work reading about this Massacre at Nanjing. I hope for the sake of humanity this disregard for human life will never never happen again. I am the Father of three children an I can not understand how a Man can kill or even hurt women and children to me this is not a Man, but a very sorry lower level of life.
An interesting piece, but I fail to understand why people are still shocked by this type of atrocity. Humans have been raping, torturing and murdering since time immemorial. Our closest cousins the chimpanzees do it, they just arent as efficient as we are. These bleeding heart displays of sympathy dont achieve anything, for the pacifists who write them or anyone else. As a wise old British schoolmaster once said "boys are brutal, it is the nature of the beast!"
Sept.18-21, at Sheraton Old Town the Mukden Tribe will meet in Albuquerque,N.M. These men will tell of the feathers, injections, and germ warfare tests conducted upon them. Anyone interested in Unit 731 is invited to call Col. Orville Padilla at 505 344-1414 for an agenda. On Sept. 20 at 1:00 PM an organization of Survivors of Hirohito's Holocaust will hold it's first meeting. My father, Mukden POW 768, died June l as a result of his captivity. I was keynote American speaker at the Final Exhibition of Unit 731 in Tokyo last year. I met with several 731 veterans and on Sept. 20 will disclose documents that will disturb P.M. Hashimoto and the Green Cross corporation. Please ask your Congressperson to co-sponsor HCR 176 which would require disclosure of UNIT 731 secrets held by the US govt.
Why don't you list more hard evidences here. Many people outside Japan know very well about these crimes, but it must be read by Japanese people who never heard about the FACT. They cannot deny hard evidences. It will be useful to have a Japanese page as well. Most of them do not speak English even after more than 10 years of Englsih education in school!
There are a number of books on "Unit 731". For example -- "Factories of Death" by Sheldon Harris. ISBN# 0-415-13206-1. Publication Date: September 28, 1995. 297 pages. $16.95 per paperback copy. Our organization, Alliance for Preserving the Truth of Sino-Japanese WAR (APTSJW), sponsored a national tour of a photography exhibit in 1995, in which many of UNIT731 atrocities were included. We will soon publish the photo exhibit at our Web site (www.SJWar.org). Check it out please. Ignatius Y. Ding APTSJW Secretary
I am currently working on a thesis paper on the japanese war crimes and the excuses. I really don't know what the point of this document is. I realize that Japan has a lot of problem dealing with its war responsability and the guilt. It's not an easy subject for any country to deal with it's war guilt and Japan is not the only country. How about the cancellation of the Enola Gay exhibition at the Smithsonian Institute? The american war veterans wanted to keep the "holy war against the evil fascist empires" attitude to justify the bombs. Articles published by Alperovitz would prove that the bombs weren't really cnecessary to defeat the Japanese. Certainly, the Japanese have a long way to go to recognize and accept what has really happenned, but are they the only ones with this problem? How about China in Tibet? France in Algeria? USA in Vietnam? Let's not forget that the world history is full of crimes and attempts by future generations to forget them.
Together with the Nazi Holocaust, the Japanese biological warfare crimes earn a special place as far and away the worst crimes ever committed in human history.
I want to say something profound, but can't. We are master barbarians and can't admit it. Then, we can't be masters of kindness and goodwill. We are strange animals and have taken over the planet. I suppose the planet will get very pissed one day and eat us.
Is there no way that this issue can be reopened at an official level and all of the living individuals involved in these atrocities brought justice? How can official interest be stirred to reopen this and allow justice to be carried out? I just recently watched the History Channel documentary on Japanese War Crimes. Just as the Nazi monsters were hunted down after the war and dealt with, so should all the living Japanese guilty be hunted down. It may be not be done now but there is a Judge who will finally settle all accounts. I feel sorry for each of these individuals, but they should all be put to death. Regards, Tim Luttrell luttrell@planetc.com
As an U.S. student, I feel the article was very important. The we know more about such evil deeds, the better we can prevent them.
I would like to get information on where I may obtain a book titled 'The Truth About Unit 731'? This book is on the scientists who did the actual testing??? If anyone has any info. it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Brandi a0012670@airmail.net
we, as a chinese, concern the action of japanese goverment in the diao yu island, we say again: fuck off the japanese who deny the ww2 crime, and want to expand. by wai
THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN X-FILES CASE????
The power of our history as a race to horrify and disgust never fails to astonish. We look at these pages regarding medical experiements - both in Unit 731 and in the Nazi Concentration Camps - and our horror is compounded by the bitter irony of medicine, commonly the healer, becoming the tool and inciter of violence and cruelty. If history teaches us anything it is that we are bad students of it's subject (examine situations in Yugoslavia and Africa). What these pages represent is an on-line record not only of the crimes committed but also of contemporary reactions to those crimes. They are valuable in that they bring discussion of issues into the open and somehow - maybe because of the media of the internet - relight the flames of anger, indignation and sadness both for the fate of the victims and for a society which could allow such crimes to happen. Please keep up the work you are doing - it is valuable. MARTIN BOWEN
Hmmmm.
I have no page. I made the following query: aids and "Green Cross" and "unit 731" I am a jorurnalist. Someone at the other end should know what I'm looking for. I can be reached at 74521.2651@compuserve.com
This is to long. This is boring.
THis is boring . This is too long.
This is too long. This is boring.
Never say never, history repeats itself. If they (some Japaneses) can do such thing and spend their life covering it, are we seeing another cycle coming? Probably not us, but it will be our following generations.
I just by accident saw this page but i am happy I did. I have never heard of these things the japs did to the men. It is so said that this never came out to the hole world. I feel mad at the japenes for doing this, but said for the families of the dead people.I think the gov should be held respondable for the crimes, like hilters group. I think this should be brought out and the goverment should have to pay the families.Well that is what I think from the XXXman. P.s If you find out more put it on the net.

Let's add a few things to the list: 1.U.S. use injection of prisoners with syphilis, Alabama, 1930's. 2.U.S. use of sailors and soldiers as guinea pigs in nuclear testing, Pacific region and Nevada desert, 1950's. 3. U.S. radioisotope experimentation on poor and black subjects without their consent during the 50's and 60's 4. Army germ warfare experiments in which U.S. cities were infected with 'harmless' bacteria in an attempt to test germ warfare systems. Retention of germ-warfare stockpiles and an active germ-warfare capability. 5. The use of napalm and the development of phosphorous-containing ordnance designed to cripple or kill slowly. 6. And last but not least, the ability to cause disease and malnutrition in "enemy" populations AFTER the termination of warfare by means of economic embargo. I'm sorry to say this but the greatest denial of medical atrocities is right here in the good old USA. Given these facts let's examine our consciences: a retrospective account is fine, but the problem is clearly ongoing.

How could the holocaust happen with no-one doing anything to stop it?
A half century of denial
the japanese army is bigger than ever their plutonium reserves are the largest in the world I am a gaigin life is true
As a Chinese I feel that this page really pisses me off on how stubborn can get. I would like to do a book report on this subject, Does anyone know any books that I could get to read about more of this subject? If you do plese send it to jkh@pacbell.net. Thank you.
cool.
Exellent piece of work, this. Yet more evidence that humanity will NEVER be as "civilized" as they claim to be. Zero Tolerance, my hat is off to you.
Greetings fellow netizens:)I came across this page in my search for information on the Japanese Tanaka Plan, if anyone has any info could they please email andrewh@fl.net.au. Well done Zero Tolerance!
you guys are nuts
I writing a report on Holocaust denial, but I have run into a question. As a Holocaustal expert do you think Holocaust deniers should be invited to a classroom discussion? Why and Why not? If you have time, can you please e-mail back your reponses. Thank you for your time. satomiha@redshift.com
Great page Zero Tolerance. In an Australian newspaper we have just published a story about what Australian defence forces knew about Unit 731. If you'd like to see it, it's on the Web at the following address - http://www.uq.edu.au/jrn/twi/top10.html (under "The factories of death - what did Australia know") As we're a monthly paper it'll only be on the Web for November. Liam Walsh s315156@student.uq.edu.au.
Very interesting stuff. I'm afraid too few take the time to contemplate all of it. It is sad and I agree with many of the the other comments that this problem is not isolated to one country, nor is it just 'in the past'.
Hi, you wanted feedback finding out that the Japanese government holds this information back from childerens education on the grounds of the students being "too sensitive" strikes me as a rather stupid thing to do, morally speaking. It is only through experience that we do not find ourselves repeating our mistakes, if we do not know what we are capable of doing to each other, then we will not establish self imposed limits on our actions, nor will we be able to accept responsibilty for our actions. Another set of atrocities in the offing?
dont know how to access info
I was born in Hei Long Jiang , and studied in Harbin Medical University for eight years .Unit 731 was in Ping fang District of Harbin . A few years ago some mice carrying disease made by Japanese were founded by local anti-epidemic station .Japanese used the local people and the POWs captured from the Anti-Japanese Union Army to do experiments ,which killed countless our fellowpeople and Anti-Japanese heros. Moreover the bacteria carried by mice killed a lot of people . We found that kind of mice in the farmland of Ping Fang District a few years ago.

As a Canadian, I am very disappointed that we North Americans, in general, are so ignorant of the Asia-Pacific arena of WWII. Japan must face its past if it ever wants clear the air of suspicion and mistrust all of its Asian neighbours still harbour. Those Hiroshima shrines and ceremonies would be more balanced if they were combined to talk about the horrors of WWII - including Japan's aggressive and horrendous roles.
I was born long after WW II ended, but the more I learn about that great struggle, the more respect and admiration I have for the men who fought and sacrificed. It seems that that was the end of the time when Americans gave for their country. All the same, the price exacted from those servicemen who were held captive by the Japanese strikes me as being entirely too much for the POW's to bear. The Japanese POW guards, if not already there, have a room in Hell waiting for them.
Man's inhumanity to Man won't go away as long as there is an attitude that its ok to do anything as long as you win. You can find examples of this today in the business world. Where there is no regulation businesses will use toxic chemicals because its cheaper, employees are treated worse because you can keep costs down that way.
I am a teacher at a high school in New York City. Right now, I am planning a course on historiography called Constructing History. I would be very interested in any other information regarding the Japanese perception of their role in World War II. Please reply to pergam@chapin.edu. Thanks -- Ilana Pergam
I had lived and studied in Harbin, China for almost 7 years(from1986 to 1993). As a Chinese, we know this histry very well. Chinese have a 10 serials TV-movies to describe this period of histry from the beginning to the ending. Anyone want to really know the Unit 731, should go to Harbin, the city government have all the record and evident, and you can visit the building of Unit 731.The leader and founder of Unit 731 was died from cancer in 1952 as a regular Japanese citizen. He never been blamed and punished by anything, because he gave most of the data and informations from Unit 731 experiments to American after the war, and I think that is the major reason why very few people know those histry.
I am happy to meet all of you to love the truth. We will remember theses horrible criminals for our future.
My brother was a veteran of the Hong Kong garrison and suffered throgh Japanese captivity. He witnessed brutal murders and torture at the hands of a Japanese Canadian known as the Kamloops Kid. The Kamloops Kid was later tried for treason and hung under the auspices of Canada's participations in the War Crimes Trials. Who said there were no Japanese traitors or spies in Canada or the United States???
A number of years ago I remember reading a contemporary history book on Unit 731. I went back to the Library - which is where I checked it out of before - and suddenly it is "gone" - no book titled "Unit 731". Can anyone provide me with the title? Thanks!!!
Reply to 1/1/97 re Unit 731. Your memory is correct, the title of book is called "Unit 731, Japan's Secret Biological Warfare in World War II." Authors Peter Williams and David Wallace, publisher The Free Press, a division of Macmillan, Inc. New York. If you cannot find this book, check out "Factory of Death".
I found this report on the warcrimes in Japan grimly fascinating. It is sad to know that these experiments were "commissioned" by fellow human beings. In this respect it is also hard to beleive that other human beings let this sort of thing go on.
The teacher in a class room asked the children, "Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?" No one raised their hand except this little Japenese kid. "Ok Phung Goo, who wrote it?", the teacher asked. "Thomas Jefuson", said the little Jap kid. "Ok class, when was it signed?", the teacher then asked. Once again, no one raised their hand except the little Japanese kid. "Ok Phung Goo, when was it signed?" asked the teacher. "Senonteen sevondy Six", he replied. "Very good Phung Goo. See this class, you are all American and not one of you raised your hand to answer any of the questions that were asked concerning your countries history except for Phung Goo.", the teacher said to the class. From the back of the class the words "Fuck the Japs" made their way to the front of the class. The teacher looked up at once to see where the words were coming from. "Alright, who said that", she inquired. Just then little Phung Goo stood up and said, "Harry Truman. 1945"
REPLAY to the comment above: I doubt PUNG GOO is a Japanese name. anyway,a little annauncemet to make here I made BBS to deleberate issues like Unit 731. joit the discussion. click here
I am writing a book in which the activities of Unit 731 are discussed by two of the main characters. This page has proved very informative. Thank you. By the way, Japan's refusal to come to terms with its not so glorious record during world war 2 will catch up with her eventually. You can hide the shit but you can't stop the smell.
Reading through the feedback, I notice that no one seems to be aware that the doctors who took part in 731 were let off by their captors on condition that they hand over their notes from their human experiments. NHK has done a series of documentaries about Unit 731, and people are more aware of attrocities committed during World War 2 than may be obvious. When the movie the Last Emperor was released in Japan, the Film Censors demanded that the footage regarding Nanking be removed. The director refused, and ensuing diplomatic solution meant that footage of the massacre could be shown, but without the voice over stating that hundreds of thousands were killed by Japanese troops. Why? Because there are no official records of the actual number of people who, and therefore it is not accurate to say 'hundreds of thousands'. Sad. And even sadder when you consider that the censors are not a government body, just a bunch of too sensitive dogooders. EVEN WORSE, the recent trial of Professor Abe which will result in his going to jail (hurrah) shows that the spirit of Unit 731 lives on: he convinced the government that it was ok to import and distribute blood products containing the Aids virus during the late 1980s/early 90s. As a result 1500 hemophiliacs became HIV positive. More than half are dead today. He has never admitted he was in the wrong. It is common knowledge that the purveyors of the blood products (who were banned from selling to the States or Europe) made vast financial contributions to his company in gratitude for his help in offloading tons of useless contaminated poison to unsuspecting innocents in Japan.
I'm a Hong Kong student and studying university, actually, I hate Japanese so much, When I was only a young kid, I would like to do the medical experiment on Japanese and kill the Japanese ---- everyone in Japan, and even cry at the night. But when I grow up, I think not all the Japanese is bad. Now, Japan is refuse to comment about all the so called "medical experiment" and the pain gave to the world and the young people in Japan even bark that "they are ready to fight with us--- Chinese". Yes, we are ready to kill you, Japanese. Maybe they are not educated or they do not read history or they have no source to know about the painful war. Unfortunately, there are not so many people concerning about the sino-japanese war in Hong Kong even. Japanese also killed so many people in Hong Kong! The guys in Hong Kong only know about jp actor, video games, or the most famous in jp--- nake girls. I have seen quite many books about the sino-jp war, there are about 30000000 Chinese people died in the war, BUT, not so much people killed are solders, most of them are just simply citizen! This is the evdience that jp are only know killing someone who have no weapon. They are afraid of die. BUT, my GREAT CHINESE are not, we do not afraid.
Let the truth be known. The Japanese people will have to deal with the reality of their nation's warcrimes in Asia, and the Pacific they can no longer hide from it.
shogun!!!! YOU son' bitch you this is bomb! woopee
Great page I found some real information on the first search. Thanks for your efforts. A footnote to Japan's warcrimes record Canadian POW's captured in Hong Kong suffered many of the same crimes committed by the Japanese in China and other places. The Canadian goverment has made repatriations to Japanese-Canadians interned during the war but has totally ignored the horrible unaknowleged crimes the japanese did to Canadian POW's. Japan has a remarkably blurry view of history for some details and some time periods.
Great page. To add to this also try to read Hell on Earth by David Mcintosh. It describes 3.5 years of suffering by Canadian POW's captured in Hong Kong
WHY DO PEOPLE TREAT EACH OTHER SO CRUELY? MARVIN@UNFORGETTABLE.COM
I love this page! Keep it up! Internet is not brainwashing like mass communication media such as television or cable programming which sex and violence is pushed to the limit to rack up ratings. Internet is NOT 1% talking to 99%. It is interactive. After reading request for Japanese version, there is one already on this page! Great JOB! I came across this page after watching Shindler's List on NBC Feb 23rd hoping to find more about Oskar Shindler; then somehow linked to this site. After reading about the sufferings of war crimes, I hope everyone out there would cherish the freedom they have and make use of it. Be thankful. When you hate a race, don't genralize the whole group; hate the crimes, the people who committed them, and the people who condone it. For those of you who said this page is boring and too long or try to belittle this page by implying "why are you shocked?" "you guys are so immature", GROW UP!! War crime is SERIOUS and every little bit of detail must be tackled, examined, exposed, and thoroughly compensated and punished. Justice must be served. One must not give up his fight for justice just because everyone do not. You may argue all these talk may do nothing. You may be right (not surprise at all with all the superficial and materialistic society we soaked ourself into). But your implications are a total insult to millions of human beings who were tortured and murdered. Are you implying to shut us up because this site does nothing? I tell you something, NOTHING WILL EVER SHUT US UP! This is the internet and there is no censorship. And I LOVE IT. I believe in justice and all those who agrees with me please RAISE your voice.
very useful info
I am a Japanese exchange student doing a report on WWII. I have learned what my ancestors did in WWII in school. I feel the Japanese government should admit to their mistakes and at least give the people who suffered a respectable word of apology. If I in behalf of my country could ease the pain of those who suffered, I would. But I know I can`t. What I think is important is that this never happens again.
I am a Japanese student in Singapore doing an essay on how the history of WWII in Japan is being dealt with and like some of the others who have written their feedback, I wish that the Japanese people in Japan will be able to learn what actually happened and so that very soon, there will be a formal apology for the atrocities that were commited during the war. I think it is good that through internet, a lot of important information can be accessed by people around the world so that article like this can be read by many people who may not know about these things.
It's not about Japan or China or Germany or Israel or America. It's about the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry and The Establishment. Animal vivisection, inevitably misleading, can only lead to human vivisection. The solution? Abolish vivisection. Vivisection Is A Crime Against Humanity
This is a great eye opener for all. I'm a history student, who takes great intrest in war crimes. This will most definitly assist in my research. THANX!
Unbelievable! I had no idea this had happened. May history not be repeated.
This shit sucks!
After having studied atrocities for quite some time I had come across Unit 731, Unit 100 and other less known such 'Medical Centres'. However, I am glad more and more people learn about it, as HISTORY MAY NEVER REPEAT ITSELF! I hope, that cloning of humans will not be trialed in a war, under the name of 'acts of War'. I hope, that the lives of civilians will be protected in war. I hope, that brutalities of the kind seen here don't happen in war. and I hope, that we can create a PEACEFUL WORLD WITHOUT WARS...
Historical texts have not focused on the brutality of the Japanese with the same intensity and scrutiny as it has on the European theaters of World War II. Any bookstore has numerous volumes of Nazi atrocities. The death march of Battan has been well documented. Until reading this web-site my only knowledge of the Japanese brutality in China was limited to the famous photo of the crying baby at the bombed out railway station. I had no idea that the Japanese army had inflicted so much grotesque and extensive horror upon the Chinese. It occurred to me perhaps one reason there is a general ignorance of this subject is that there has never been a major motion picture made about these atrocities. Schindler's List, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Judgment at Nuremberg, and other such films, stimulate the conscience of the world with visual and audible impacts that words cannot convey. Why have filmmakers been so silent on such a story? I think that sponsorship of the film industry would be worth seeking. If it happened, put it film and let the revisionists rebut the arguments.
My name is Soo Hong Park, a Korean studying in Scotland. I knew some Japanese friends who would apologize to me for what Japan did to other countries during WWII. But it can not be stopped at that level. They should exactly know what happened so they could apologize to us sincerely. How many times Japanese Prime ministers said something like " I regret that such things happened. " or " I apologize for any regrettable action carried out by... " each time a new one is elected ? Those who carried out such crimes agianst humanity during WWII are still alive and in political and business circles in Japan. Their successors will be the ones who think the same as older Japanese crimainals that Such crimes were inevitable and not their faults and we should educate Asians as we did while we were occupying their countries. Japanese teenagers might be innocent but those who really count are not. The government you see in Japan is not much different from what it was in the past. What is past is a prelude to future . Do you still remember this wisdom ? Germany did its best it could to prosecute war crimainals but Japanese war criminals are walking today as chairmen of companies like mitsbishi and Honda. Japanese government is trying to join the UN security council along with Germany, backed by US. UN security council members elected themselves for a joke just because they were powerful. Security council has a veto power over anything important all the rest of the countries in the world decide and want. And now Japan will join the council. How can we let this happen ? Japan must come to its past cleanly and publicly and sicerely apologize for its crimes in the full attention of its own people without saying bullshits like " regrettable incidents ". Crime maybe forgiven but not forgotten. What was past is a prelude to future. Please remember that
Hi, those who do not learn history are condamned to repeated. The japs did not learn their history and I think this genocide will happen again!! Look, now japan has the 2nd largest military spending in the world. Sooner or later something bad will happen!!! Yet the Americans do not even care, they will when california get blown up!!!!!
I agree with the wise old teacher who once said "boys can be brutal".The lessor ones we label serial killers and imprison,the major players we elevate. Victors always come away smelling like roses of course their shit doesn't stink. Maybe if we really wanted to put an end to all of this we could take a closer look at the diets of those who would be our leaders and maybe ourselves at the same time. Maybe we could do something about, hmm Do you smell it?
Looking for sources of a couple of documentaries about this subject matter on PAL or NTSC: - UK program entitled 'Did The Emperor Know ?' - Chinese series entitled 'The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood' iaparkin@ptes.com
Frantz Fanon wrote a book entitled "The Wretched of the Earth", those words are a testament to the extreme, often unprecedented violence of the 20th century. We must never forget that just because the times change doesn't necessarily mean humans enjoy that benefit. Harvard psychologist said it best, "It required years of labor and billions of dollars to gain the secret of the atom. It will take a still greater investment to gain the secrets of man's irrational nature". Send comments to jbpechow@syr.edu
Sadly, most Americans do not acknowledge that the Japanese committed organized atrocities such as the Nazis. Most are only aware of the horrendous individual actions that were undertaken in events such as the Bataan Death March. The Japanese need to acknowledge this horrible event. They also, however, need to acknowledge the act of agression at Pearl Harbor. History that is rewritten to suit the current poli- tical environment is quite often grossly changed from the truth to something less so. I am a World War II historian and want the facts! I have always had a great respect for the individual Japanese. I grew up with these people in the 50's in Los Angeles. It is the Japanese Government that needs to come clean! Let us hope that from this moment on there will be no more atrocities. Thank you...2828
we'll never ever forget japanes crimes. they did so much crual things to korean. and, japanese have got to say ' we are so sorry about those things. please forgive us ' till that time, we .koreans, don't forgive japanese.
To read what you wrote was not only disturbing but inhuman. It really bothers me to know that we could murder our own kind, and it not even be for survival,but to try and prove to other countries that we are the best and the strongest, that we have the best armies, navies, and the best government.
I recently read an adventure book called DRAGON by Clive Cussler. While it was a fictional novel, it uses historical fact to back it's storyline. One such fact was that the Japanese had actually killed many more people in death camps than the Nazis had. Another thing it said was that Japan had stolen a lot of Chinese treasures, and at the end of the war, they hid these valuables all over south east asia, using POWs to dig the holes. When the holes had been dug, the treasure hidden, they buried the POWs in the chambers with the treasure. I was upset to learn all of this, but I'm not sure they are real facts. You seem to have an interest in the subject, and I was wondering if you knew if this was true or not.
Oops, didn't give you my E-Mail. It's LOU_DOG@JUNO.COM.
evil lives in your cowardice... these laboratories exist even now i have seen baboon skulls from the university perforated with holes as a carpenter i have built surgical installations for mass heart experiments on pigs [even jesus had some orders for wooden crosses] i only advise pure compassion- like artaud, "i burn to burn."

The Japanese People is such a devil that it should be erased from the earth.
I just cann't believe that someing like that could have happened!!!
Hello. I appreciate this page VERY much. I am doing a report about the Holocaust and medical advancements during WW II. I knew about the Natzi/Jewish atrocities, but I was unaware of the experiments w/ Japanese. I think that all students my age (13/8th grade) and older should learn about the Holocaust, WWI and II, Unit 731, and other inhumane occurances in history. I believe that all should realize the truth and contribution they had w/ these experiments so they can learn to accept the wrong they did and the pain they caused, so it can be prevented. If anyone has more info. about the medical advancements/experiments during the Holocaust, WW II, and/or Unit 731, I would appreciate the help. E mail me at Lewis20@worldnet.att.net Thank you again- Amanda Dillard:)
Ok hi this is pretty shitty that they did that. I really cant beleive that the japanese doctors feel no remorse after they cut open a 'log' that was still living. Thats just weird. Sorry if I offended anyone by this.... but its just my opinion.
silly billy: I thought that this is one of the most horrible and digusting crimes against humans since the history of humanity. oh ya I like to touch my mommie
This is a great page for information, well written and informing. Very much needed. Thanks.
FUCK YOU
I need so one to tell me about the people of World War 1 only, not of Hilter, or of World War II
Someone wrote earlier in this feedback that all Japanese POW guards have a place reserved for them in hell. I want to say that I believe that all people have a place reserved for them in hell, that is unless they accept Jesus Christ as their personal lord and savior. This world has had many terrible things happen because we are so sinful. We can't blame just the Japanese beause all of us have done things that are wrong. What happened during World War II not just to the Japanese's prisoners, but to the soldiers and the Holocaust victims is awful. The only way to make our world a better place is for people to see God and acknowledge him and live our lives as he wills. If you want to comment on what I have just said, e-mail me at godsgirl2@juno.com.
The most important thing to remember is not about what happened but why it happened. Japanese need indeed to remember grousome atrocites like this. I,however, believe this is one of the astrocities emphasized on what happened. Or, We as well as the Japanese should make efforts of knowing the reason.
If anyone has any more info about Japanese POW e-mail mem1616,PLEASE!!!!!!

Japanese Emperor Hirohito was even worser than Hitler. His natural death was an American joke to human justice.
Seeking any info on a WWII Japanese Marine General Mori, who was captured and tried in Japan for war crimes allegedly committed in the Dutch East Indies 1941-1945. The U.S. tried him, then turned Gen. Mori over to the Netherlands Government who executed and buried him on one of the islands in Dutch East Indies. Would greatly appreciate hearing if any background information is available concerning Marine General Mori. (Sorry that I lack his first name.) Sincerely, T.D. (E-mail: tandc@joshuanet.com
Really enjoyed your page,, Too many don't know or aren't interested in the atrocities that were commited by the Japanese in WWll. I know,, my father was on the Bataan Death March,,and 3 and one half years as a POW I just hope the Japanese someday will fess up to their part.. it would be hard to live your life knowing what you were involved in.. If anyone is interested,,,, I retraced the death march april 9 1995 and doing it again in 2000,,looking for son's and daughter's who would like to do the same,,,,,JMcint1058@aol.com
hello...is this thing on
hello. I was just desperately seeking information on "denied historical truth" for my term paper this year and stumbled upon this site. I couldn't believe what I read! It was terribly sickening but informative aswell. You have done a great job in presenting this "Unit 731", without "sugarcoating" any of it. I believe humans need to know all the facts, all the history, before we can all move on without repeating what humans have foolishly done in the past. Thanx - Cara Marie :)
Thank you- I'm not sure you realize how important your work is. The truth must not die. Please advise if help is needed
I'm both stunned and appalled at how the Japanese government could do this and, even with the documantation , and photos, they categorically deny this ever happened. I know a foreign exchange student from Hong Kong, and he's worried about China taking over Hong Kong in July, I mean, who knows what will go down then?! One leaving thought-how is it that China, full of sweat shops can abuse every human right in the book and get favored nation trading status. It seems to me they they are just as bad as the Japanese in WW II.
wow...I had no idea that anything such as this ever ocurred! I'd like to know more, especially about the diseases that were spread as a result of this. And to think that I hated the government before! Imagine how I feel now...How could a sane human gut another LIVING human being?!!! This deserves to be exposed, and I'd like to lend a helping hand to that exposure, if possible. E-mail me at : tallahicky@msn.com
whats up
anybody under 50 probably thinks this is "awful",but anyone who has "touched the Elephant"knows how it is impossible to comunicate the smell of death ,terror and reality to the uninitiated.This page does well at shedding light on the culture of the Japenese.
We must never forget
it sucks
hi
The nazis suck dick
Sup Homey
The Nazis should all go to hell
I am 18 and Nothing I have read has ever turned my stomach as much as this did when I read it Does man have a conscience? Would the person doing these experiments think about doing this to their own family? I found this article disturbing and I wished I had have remained ignorant to these facts
I work at a unior high school in Japan and one of the texts recommended for7th grade concerns a young Japanese girl who holds a dying baby in her arms after a bomb is dropped on her village. Is thisw appropriate reading for children? Is this a way to poresent the realities of war?
the holocaust by the germans was bad enough .6 million killed .but to read in an article that the japanese had killed 30 million chinese .from 1937 to 1945 makes everyone sick just reading about it ,i think that enough has been said about the germans , ihate the japanese more .and this should and more articles like this should be displayed on the internet -keep up the good work zero tolerance.
A worthwhile and important page. Some criticisms/suggestions: 1) What is the source of the photo showing J troops executing Chinese? 2) How about more info on the "secret report prepared by the now defunct Japanese South Manchuria Rwy Co. which recently came to light..."? Came to light where, by whom? Well done!
Is there World war II veterans I can speak to on this program. valleyview@thegrid.net
I am quite disappointed about the fact that KOREAN victims are not mentioned in this article. However, I really appriciate that you had wrote up this wonderful article. THANKS... I think all Japaneses should read this article. They don't know anything about what they had done.
I was stationed at a base called South camp Fuji after the war. I was with men who were POW at that very same camp. To this day I cant find anything about that POW camp in Japan. Why not? James--former marine
were is all of the info on this page
so are there any out there
I found this homepage very informitive but i do not hold the japanese people responsible i think every one makes mistakes and not only do the people who made them learn from them but it turn every one should i would appritiate more infromation on this page because i belive it is very effective and more people should know what happened in history so it doesn't happen again.
I enjoyed your article, but I would like to know more about your sources. Also, what information do you have concering the Bataan Death March. My father was one of the few survivors. He never talked much about it, but over the years I heard snippets of stories that told of horror and cruelty in his 42 months of internment. I'm interested in talking to anyone who can shed more light on the subject. My email address is: larymars@midwest.net Thanks
People who think that the U.S. was unjust by dropping the bomb should read this page.
I thought that this was a very interesting story. To believe that this could have acually happened. I am doing a report on this for English and I never realized any of this that went on until now that I am doing research. I never knew that there concentration camps in America.
Interesting and horrifying... It's being used for a History project
Thanks for the info. it is apriciated. I am doing a school project.
I hope that by reading this , people will realize that no nation is free of corruption. People talk of the human rights issues in China. But in the same breath the US, Peru, S'pore, Japan... each country has in some way committed crimes against humanity.
I am a student at UCSD and I'd like to confess my anger and disgust at how the American government helped to cover up Unit 731. I think if anything America also owns the world an apology.
I believe this world needs some fixin. Things that are going on in this world are ridiculous. Especially this. Right now I am in a classroom reading about Japenese internet camps and predjudices. I wonder why people have to be so ignorant. We all came from the same God and we are all the same in Gods eye. Why must we be so ignorant...?
World War II was one of the most tragic wars in the world. I wish us, as Americans, would see how much our ancestors fought for us...
This is an excellent page. Not very many people know of the extent of Japanese atrocities during WWII, and it is an outrage that Japan doesn't take more responsbility for their actions. By not openly acknowledging their guilt, they sew the seeds for future crimes against humanity. The world must constantly be reminded how low humanity can sink when led by such radicals.
I never knew. I will not forget. Robert Bruce
I was outraged and angered when I read this article. As a Korean-American who was raised in the US, I had some, but not in depth, knowledge of the atrocities cmmitted by the Japanese in Korea during the occupation period through occassional perusing of history books, This article made me realize the true meaning of the words 'cruelty' and 'barbarism'. To those who replied and said that dredging up past deeds is wrong or that everyone 'makes' mistakes and that we shouldnt blame the Japanese is missing the whole point. The point is that the Japanese committed these crimes and havent completely acknowledged it. Such an unwillingness to admit their part in the cruelties of the past will surely haunt them in the future, and in the meanwhile, win them no friends.
I was unaware that the Japanese were involved in research similar to that of the Nazis. I do have one question, were the results of the research done by the japanese ever used. I know that the information provided from the horrible experiments conducted by the Nazis was one of the reasons for the Americans winning the race to the moon, I wonder if the people tortured buy the japanese served any purpose. As bad as that may sound, I am a firm believer that information obtained from such experiments should be used, otherwise these people died for nothing. I am very interested in the conflict between the Japanese and the USA during WWII. If you have any information that you may think interesting to some one like me please send it to me, especially stuff about the US taking of iwogima. My email address is wpickens@nmus.edu . Thank you
your concerne is appreciated by the Finnish goverment. But we deny everything. Nothing exists. Ufo's will die if they land here. With love, president of Finland, mr. Martti Ahtisaari "Fatman"
Hi everyone. I can actually express my opinion. Well, I think Jews are really cool, I mean, they suffered rallly bad, but they still made it, they had faith.
i was in world war II and i killed some gooks
Your page serves a valuable purpose.. we must NEVER forget the past nor allow people to distort it. My father was a Japanese POW although I don't believe he was ever experimented on (he didn't talk much about it) he did witness a lot of brutality which affected him for the rest of his life. I can only imagine how the poor people that survived these experiments were affected.
Please do not hear me wrong but all this imformation regarding Japan's war crimes are good within themselves but please tell me one other major power that did not take parts in such dispicables acts. The United States have done it for many years, many times including their own people, Vietnan another example. Really horrific, not to mention to atom bombs dropped by the USA....Which is worst than all the other acts put together that Japan took part of, how come we don't hear about the wrong doings of the USA...just because they won the war...please stop being hipocrits....I feel anger....it's no more no less than discrimination This site contains great information, also I agree it should be made in Japanese.......great Work Daniel Segura email: msegura@mars.nettrek.net.au Marymount College 15yrs old

I am an American and, like everyone else, I deplore what Unit 731 did. But also I am mindful of the old adage that "the victors get to write the history books". I have no doubt that the Rape of Nanking and the atrocities of Unit 731 really occurred. But I also wonder what things we have done that haven't made it into the history books or on web pages. By the term "we" I mean everyone other than the Germans and the Japanese. Bob Reed
A powerful site. There is also a young woman who has a homepage at Geocities, with additional material on these massacres. It would lend an incredible impact, if the two could be at least linked together through the Zero Tolerance group. While we must learn to forgive the horrors of history, we must never forget! I will add a link to this site on my pages on multiculturalism at http://www.fortunecity.com/lavendar/stradbroke/2/index.html because we must also confront this side of history, no matter how great the pain. Michelle Young
Can i please have all the info you have on the causes of World War One?. Desperate student with alot of assessment tasks... Thank
I read your page today and thank God that you have written it and hope that anyone who was associated with this group (the japanese) will rot in th hell of their shinto religon.
Kudos for a very informative piece. Many are aware of the atrocities committed durinbg the infamour "Rape of Nanking," but there is a larger story to be told. Thank you for contributing to this effort. We'll soon see the internet fulfill its potential as a source of caomparatively obscure but vital information.
It is quite disturbing that we do not require the Far Eastern Countries to pay for their crimes. Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, all have had significant evidence of "Crimes Against Humanity". Our media has gotten so far out of line, if these crimes happened in the US, swift justice would be served. The Far East should pay the piper!
I'm from Japan, Nagano pref., where Olympic games will be held next year. There is a place called Matsushiro. And there in war time Japanese government planned to make under-ground Head Quater, and as Japanese guys are all gone as soldiers, they fetched Korean people for slave works, including sexual slaves. Japanese civilian group is planning to build monumental buildings, but donation (30000000yen are needed) is only 10000000yen has come. Volunteers wanted monumental building to be build before Olympic games, but local residents do not want them. Local people say they tehmselves did not comit nasty crimes. But citizen group want to know the truth and tell the world the truth. This story is from news paper SHINANO-MAINICHI. I myself, as a Christian, think that to hide the truth is bad thing to do. Thank you. See you again.
Unit 731: EYE-WITNESS PLANS LAW-SUIT: From Japan, again. Acording to TV news (TBS, Tokyo), A Chinese eyewitness came to Tokyo and held a meeting. He says he saw them spraying polluted flour over a town, and many poeple were killed. He plans to make a law-suit. Unfortunately I lost his name. So, some Japanese are working hard to reveal the truth. My E-mail address is you-com@clio.or.jp When I found more information, I will tell you. See you again.
I read the news on Japanese papers, Ashahi-Shinbun shows very small article, local Sinano-Mainichi shows big article. Shinano-Mainichi tells us about Matsushiro dispute everyday. Japanese suprem court is notorious for arrogancy. For example there's aChristian-soldier case. A Christian soldier was killed in action, and Jieitai (Self-Defence-Force: that means army) put his soul into Yasukuni-Jinja, their Shinto shrine. His widow protested, and the district court approved what she says. But, alas, the suprem court turned it over and rejected her wish. But in this year, the supreme court decided that prefecture governer cannot donate OFFICIAL money to Yasukuni-Jinja. In Japan, trial takes very very long time, maybe ten years or more. And judges are stone-headed. May God be with you, for long long time to come. Bye.
to zero tolerance, You have probably already seen this but to you & those who want a visual comprehension of this atrocity, try to find a video called MEN BEHIND THE SUN. They're 3 in the series, but the first is the most accurate & not far from the terrible truth. And every one thought the nazis were bad. janet in minneapolis
janet in minneapolis again, i'm chinese, and this really made mad again. of course the 1st time was after watching MEN BEHIND SUN. then i have to remember i can't blame the new generation of japanese for wartime atrocities nor should i. to my chinese brothers & sisters don't hate the japanese for their past crimes like some of our elders. were in the 90's, the point now is to let it be known of what has happened and not to let it happen ever agsin. remember they'er alot of post ww11 japanese who know and are ashamed that there country men did such evils. they too, want this atocity known and have apologized for their counry mens terrible deeds thanx for letting me vent.
The events told of in this page are tragic. Of course, Japan is not alone in conducting unethical human research, but that hardly excuses the barbaric acts of the men involved in Unit 731. Unfortunately, the message of this page is missed by some. When I was reading the feedback to this page I some people showed callous apathy, or worse, a passionate hatred for the Japanese people. The prejudice expressed by several in phrases like,"fuck the Japs" is what leads to the inhumanity presented in this page. It's easy to say, "I hate, but I don't act that way" and feel righteous, but if you were in an era of warfare, where killing "the enemy" was something to be proud of, how can you be so sure you might rationalize many terrible things? Do not misunderstand me. I do not excuse these war criminals, I just fear that our outrage could easily spark a whole new conflict.
ignorance is bliss.. we must not forget that honorable institutes as M.I.T. used innocent children for medical experiments. The U.S. Army used their own troops for nuclear experiments.The CIA used unknowing citizens for drugtesting. I'm sure that "honest" corporations, governments and armies around the world still use this methods! don't be fooled! If authorities can't learn from these atrocities, at least the common people should!!!

I am a fifteen year old girl from Australia (not that that is important) and I find it hard to believe that such acts were committed. My maternal-grandfather (my hero) was a POW on the Burma line and my paternal-grandma is japanese. I am not ashamed of either of these facts, and neither do I feel I should be. Both "sides" committed digusting acts and neither can say they haven't hidden the truth from the world.
A very enlightening page.My name is George,I am 18 and I live in South Africa. Your article really made me think and my opinion is that a lot of geniuses (pscychopaths?) who were also very opportunistic saw the war as a opportunity to go through with those gruesome acts because violence and bloodshed made the headlines and that they could go unnotice practicing unethical experiments because to them a few thousand deaths were certainly being shadowed by all those bombings etc.They were really mad. I'd also like to say that we,the rest of the world can not discriminate against present day japanese,german or any other nation because of what the previous generation has done because they have absoluteley no connection to all those unspeakable acts that were committed and that we all can look back and learn something from the past and take it into the future.
How can people do this to other people? I am Chinese.....while I do not blame the Japanese of today for what happened but they must learn and know that this is what their forefathers have done and prevent it from happening again. Japan must acknowledge its errors and apologise but will it ever do so?
Your page adds value and demonstrates the futility of censorship now that the 'net is here
I was appaled
I went to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in August and I'd like to say that no monuments are still standing for the 20.000 Korean slaves and other foreigners who died during the A-bomb dropping .
Thank you for your enlightening 731 page. I'm Japanese and live in Tokyo. Recently seeking for the documents about Nazi's Euthanagia Program, I found your page. In Japan the teachers never say about what 731 unit had done in China. Why? It was our horrible sin... My heart's aching keenly. Most Japanese don't know 731 doctors are still alive and working in the hospitals as professors. Dr.T.Abe, who was accused of providing blood-derivative drugs contaminated by HIV virus (sorry, I'm not good at English writing), is not a 731 doctor, but what he has done to the patients suffering hemophilia in 1980s is the very same atrocity. Again, Thank you for you page!

I am a canadian, but my parents were born in korea, so therefore I have korean heritage. Through out my life I was constantly remineded of the attrocities performed by the japanese during the second world war. The japs to me far surpast the nazis when it came to brutally during the second world war. In north america very few people really know what happened in the paciffic theatre, they tend to only know of the occupation of europe by the nazis.What ever they do know of the paciffic theatre is usually about the atomic bomb, and how the poor japanese people suffered. Bull shit. That was nothing compared to the countless deaths of chiness,korean, malasian, philipines,american and british P.O.W.s and many others whom I failed to include. The japanies were anything but human and masacred people with less than animal emotion, they were beasts. The torture and killings of civillians and P.O.W.s and the foced sexual slavery and rape of women ,children, and elderly have yet been accepted by the japaness government and are still denied to this day. Infact, the Japanese government still honor and set up monuments of brave Japanes soliders lost during the war. They even make claims that Japan was liberating and bringing enlightenment to the orient. To this day japaness children are still being taught this an of their own superiority. At least the Nazis accepted responsibilty and took actions to make sure that Nazism would not survive,the japanese however have not. The japanese killed anyone or anything not japanese, while the nazis killed people of a non white cultre. They treated their P.O.W.s with some respect, while the japs turned to torture, experements and productive assimilation. The world must NOT FORGET what happened and japan Must be brought to justice. I thank the people who put this page together, it is your work like yours that helps this cause.
a powerful page. god forgive the japanese
Ten years ago I included a section on Japanese war crimes in the Bioethics chapter of my book on Nature. Readers commented that although they were familiar with the subject of Nazi concentration camps, they had never heard about Unit 731. I am proud that there are people like you making the subject known. I only missed more photographic documentation. Hope it will increase. PROF. JULIAN MONGE-NAJERA, UNIVERSITY OF COSTA RICA
I would like to point out to that in the second world war much of the Japanes's dirty work was carried ou by Korean and chineses males, who were forced into service of the japanese to execute civilians and burry bodies. As well as forced sexual slavery for women. In Korea there is a single term , which I have forgotten , refering to this but please do not condem the innocent who were forced to participate. In the Philipenes there is still anger towards the Korean people for aiding the Japanese, History books still write how the Koreans aided the Japanes. No! this is not true. They were forced by the japs to perform acts of babarism.
I have read the book by Hal Gold, and it is an eye-opener when you look at the information in it, such as the conduct of the Japanese military prior to World War II, when Japan was reknown for its humane treatment of prisoners, and the achievements of its military medicine, and then noting how it all got twisted during World War II. The likes of David Duke and Louis Farrakhan were not racist, nowhere near, compared to these people. I saw the movie, "Laboratory of the Devil" (about 731), and if that was simulated I would hate to see the real thing. In college I have encountered readings that say how bad we were in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and it's funny how they never mention anything like 731 or other atrocities the Japanese committed against us or others. Belonging to a regiment of Texas Cavalry that fought the Japanese in Burma, I feel that this page is preaching to the choir, so to speak, and now's the perfect time to get this page in Japanese, since if one keeps up with the recent ruling of the Japanese Supreme Court regarding a textbook meant for Japanese history courses that mentions 731, it has gotten to the point where the Japanese Government can no longer hide this from their own people.
Having been raised during the second world war in America of German parents, I have always been very interested in the History of that war. I am horrified to hear from educated people how terrible the Americans were to drop the A-bomb on the poor Japanese. How terrible the Americans were to decimate Dresden with bombs. But not one word about what the Japanese did to people in Bataan, Coregidor and all the islands in that area. I didn't know about all the other atrocities. Please keep the people informed. You may wonder how my parents handled the war with Germany with us? Well, they told us that there were two kinds of Germans, the Good Germans and the Bad Nazis. We were the good Germans who were German-Americans and We were at war with the Nazis. To a 4 and 6 yr old we were able to understand that and not blame people for being confused about what we were when they would scream bad things at us.
They deserve every ounce of radiation that they have received/

I have just finished reading Hal Gold's book, Unit 731. Looking for a copy of Peter Williams book, Unit 731 (freepress) ISBN 0029353017. Any one have a source? Professor D. Bradford
How can I. These page contains nothing yet??
and we thought the nazis were bad....will mankind ever learn?
Its good that japan was in china at least we made them a little civilized now they are trained monkeys!!!!!! They are commiting atrocities right now. What the hell do you people think the chinks are doing in Tibet and other countries in Asia. Don't be fooled by these commies.Also the only reason why we know the past incidents of the Nazi era is because the Jews have controll of everything today and the chancolo's don't. From: german-japanese 16yearold.
How about an article examining the attack by Israel of the U.S.S. Liberty during the Six Day war? 34 Americans were killed on June 8th 1967 during the intentional attack on this ship by combined air and naval elements of the defense forces of the State of Israel. There are several excellent web pages devoted this atrocity. Just think, the U.S. gives several BILLION dollar$ a year to support this theocracy! America should slap Israel's face (both of them) for this indignity to fairness and decency. American Jews really need to decide whether their loyalties lie with Israel or America. This country needs to keep a more open mind on our dealings with the Arab world.
War is not the only place these horrors against innocent masses of people take place, nor only in our yesterdays, nor only in third world countries - They continue to happen right here in your back yard. I am trying right now to take the Dalkon Shield Trust to court for what the Dalkon Shield did to me, but because of Corporate Society's power in Government they keep trying to find ways of not winding up in front of a Jury of 12 good people. They are saying now because I cannot afford an "Epert" I cannot prove my case. I suffered over 10 years from the Dalkon Shield and have all the medical records and disability documentation and am still alive to tell my story; yet this still may not be enough. Hundreds of thousands of women from all over the world suffered and, yes, even died from the Dalkon Shield. Only luck and my own strong, healthy body and mind kept me alive, but to suffer for over 10 years. I am OK now due to surgery; except for my loses and depression/anger. I know one women personally who is not, plus books on hundreds of women like myself and worse. It is not over and never will be. There is more and worse to tell. Corporate greed is the 3rd world war today.
Please see I have much more to add to these pages.

Upon reading of the U.S. Govrenments role in yet another coverup, I can only think and ask , WHY DON'T WE HAVE MORE MILITIA GRUOPS AND PEOPLE MISTRUSTING THE GOVERNMENT? I know I don't and you would be a fool to trust a system so ripe with constant abuses of it's citizens!
Thank you for this information, my husband and I worked for the release of Harry Wu in China and believe that the American people were not told the entire story. Our understanding from the Chinese was that human experimentation never ended and that US companies in China continued the expermentation. Beijing was weak and many provincial governments allowed the expermentation in return for much needed capital as people were starving there. Do you have any information on this? I would be most grateful. Please send it to me at siriusss@pacbell.net. I believe that biological warfare must be stopped, no matter who is doing it, it must be exposed. Please help me unwravel the riddle of Mr. Wu. Harper MacNeill Chinese American Alliance Capital
Good article. However, I agree with previous comments about some sloppiness that might lead to he conclusion that the research might be sloppy. This is a very important article that has implications for the current Japanese education and socialization process. The japanese (and other asians)have a tradition of raising their children to be obiedent and not to question authority. Mostly, this makes for an easily regulated society, occasionally it leads to unbelievable horrors. Thanks, for your work it is part of what makes America the best place in the world. Our penchant for freely critizing ourselves and everyone else causes much chaos and paranoia, but it also minimizes the chance we will live through another period like the one you describe. idtrebor@aol
i am currently taking an english class based on doing research on the holocaust. the innumerable atrocities that i have read about and seen have literally blown my mind. my mind is searching for some sort of comprehension on the subject, but my mind finds the things that happened in the concentration camps incomprehensible. can anybody tell my why?
i forgot my address cjtudor@tardis.svsu.edu if anybody has any answers. lord knows i have enough questions.
i'm glad it happened! Email me at milleradam@mailexcite.com
And there most likely stIll doing it

Well, to be honest, I'd need your E-mail address to send you some Top-Secret Documents. They're from Operation Majistic-12, which took place in the early 1950s. E-mail me your E-mail address to: acurry@worldnet.att.net
I was never a fan of the Japanese, mainly because of their mistreatment of the natural biological resources around them, such as the ocean, But your page showed me how shallow their understanding and respect for human life really is. Thanyou. P.S. Is there a possibility of you e-mailing me the original picture of the bones (unit_731.jpg) without the text in the centre. my thanks.
DAMN.....THAT SHIT IS FUCKED UP, IT MAKES ME ANGRY..WHY ARE PEOPLE SO INSENSITIVE.
erm... hi, i'm 16, chinese and i live in singapore. i just want to say that i don't think pple should hate japanese on the whole because of what their forefathers did 50 years ago... however, i feel that all japanese born after the war should not be shielded from these events as though these atrocities never happened. denial is a show of cowardice...
I think this page is great. I am a junior at SUNY Buffalo. I have lost many relatives to the Japs. If I had the opportunity, I would single-handedly go to Japan and kill every one of them and them piss on their bodies. Thats right CHINESE PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Death to all NIPS!!!!!
CHINESE PRIDE! CHINESE PRIDE! CHINESE PRIDE! CHINESE PRIDE! CHINESE PRIDE! CHINESE PRIDE! CHINESE PRIDE! Us Chinese taught the Japs how to read, write, and wipe their ass, etc. and they repay us by massacring millions of my people. They are sick, souless, demons and they do not deserve to exist as a civilization. Nothing has changed today. They are not militarily powerful enough. I tell you, if they had the chance, they would do it again. In Chinese history, it is noted that in ancient times, the Chinese sent off the maniacs and criminals to an exiled island which is now Japan. P.S. What goes around comes around!!! One day China will destroy Japan. We will NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!

CHINESE PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Us Chinese taught those Japs how to read, write, etc. and that's how they repay us? Japan should have no self pride. They are just a puny island country. The only reason they were able to do that to the Chinese was because of their advanced weapons. They are not superior like they say they are. They are nothing but animals that should be wiped out. P.S. What goes around comes around!! China will invade Japan one day and believe me, they will have NO MERCY!!!
War, truley brings out the worse in mankind
this is terible
how many people died
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BOMBING OF TOKYO MARCH 1945? Why isn't there more information about this event on the Web and in books?
I saw this page and realized that the Japenese are at fault for their actions and should in no way try to cover them up. This just shows how humanity forgets. Should we forget these heinous crimes let us look at our modern era and its genocides. Bosnia, Iraq, Algeria, are just a few in an ever growing list that is a result of how we can simply look the other way in the advent of tragedy. Let us not let this go on for we can only imagine how bad we can become.
The Japanese aren't as innocent as they like to proclaim and they tend to solicit sympathy for being Nuked in WW2. The fact of the matter is that not only did Unit 731 exist, but Japan had a thriving Atomic bomb program underway and new information suggests that they were successful in detonating a small nuclear device, off the coast of Korea, in August 1945. Hiroshima and Nagasaki being bombed ended the further development of the Japanese Nuclear program.
I am a citizen of Hiroshima and my feedback is as follows: 1) The title "A Half Century of Denial" is also used in Robert Lifton's book HIROSHIMA IN AMERICA---A HALF CENTURY OF DENIAL, 1995. 2) At Tokyo Tribunal 7 Japanese war time cabinet members like Premier Tojo were sentenced to death. They were executed by hanging. General Matsui was executed by hanging for the Nanjing Massacre. 3) The Tokyo Tribunal could have tried General Ishii, the head of the Unit 731, and sentenced to death penalty. They did not. Instead, the US Government acquitted Gen. Ishii and all members of the Unit 731 in exchange for the data obtained from the experiment. 4) The US was already underway to make human radiation experiments in 1940s in preparation for nuclear war. See FINAL rEPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RADIATION EXPERIMENTS, OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, 1997. The US wanted the data of the Unit 731 for preparing for germ war. It is said the US used germ weapons in Korean War which were direct results of the data from the Unit 731. 5) Japan should compensate for the victims and make formal apology. 6) All the former colonial powers should compensate for their atrocities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The US should compensate for the Native Americans. The US should give up Hawaii which they stole and made their own territory. The US should also compensate the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and make a formal apology. Let's be fair.
i love brandi
Son of a bitch Chinese surporter, we japanese did nothing wrong. Americans launche 2 atomic weapons killing hundreds of thousands of our countrymen and you acuse us of have commited a crime. Fuck you and your way of thought japan will kill all VIVA ESPANA YARIVA YARIVA ANDOLE ANDOLE...... ohhh crap now you all know i am a mexican.... well then i'll go pickmy tomatoes and lettus!!!!!!! DIE NIGGERS DIE
mistreatment of chinese
When I read the feedbacks,I got an overwhelming feeling of "fuck the Japanese for what they did, and never forgive!" Well, indeed we need to never forget the mistreatment of human life at the hands of other human beings, but there is a time to forgive and get on with life. Perhaps by never letting go of the hatred done over fifty years ago is a major part of the problem of intolerance today. Do you remember your history? The United States government was also involved in some pretty ugly situations. The Cherokee nation was removed from its homeland, and The Chinese were sent into what some would consider concentration camps. After all this however, no one seems to blame the US. Does that say something to you?
Lest we forget.

Our own history is inglorious at best (US). The problem is not Japanese,German or American, it's human. Fear, ignorance and animal instinct have been driving these behaviors for a long time but we're getting better.
Among the comments are references to forgetting history & repeating it and yet we tend to tolerate & often demand history be revised to accomodate the views of either the victors or whoever is currently in power. In order to learn from history, we must know history from fiction, propoganda, legand or distortion and we must not forget what is true. Do not allow current attempts to once again censor & revise history to conform to current political advantage to be successful. The information found on this page is just one step in the process of keeping the record accurate. May they continue to infinity but do not condemn those in the present who were no part of the acts of the future. Learn from the past and move forward.

"If God is dead, everything is permitted." "Imagine a boot stamping a human face...forever"
I gasped in horror as I continued reading about the atrocities performed by Japan's Unit 731. These horrors were unimaginable and were worse than any horror movie I have ever seen.
this stuff is really helping me do a social project. i think i'll just copy the whole thing
Speaking as someone who has lived in japan, i know firsthand just how the japanese still deny what they did in the war.I think that they got off to damn easy! The like to talk of the "bushido" the warriors code.How much bravery does it take to kill helpless women and children?
Hi. I found your page interesting. And, as others have said, it was a horrific event. But I am annoyed by idiots who think that the Japanese people alive now (except members of government and certain old doctors) have anything to do with it. How can you be guilty of something that happened before you were born? We must remember these events and remember that they were caused by both sadists and those who unquestioningly OBEYED orders. Fools. You must always think for yourself. And to those who say "kill all the Japanese", I say: fuck off you patriotic twat. Patriotism was one of the causes of such atrocities; Patriotism refuge of the coward. Deny your homeland. We are children of the World, not just a minor country. Only those who think in terms of patriots and countries would think of "the Japanese" as one mass of united people. All the blame rests in the hands of Government and those who blindly follow it. And by that I mean all governments in the world. Authority is Satan.
P.S. my email is manch@imaginator.com if anyone wishes to respond.
Pretty amazing what people (All people) are capable of once they find an excuse to hate someone. All the atrocitys ever committed began with the simple idea that one group of people were superior to another in some fashion and once that distinction is made it's an easy to de- humanize them all together. If there are any lessons to be gleaned from the 20th century it should this: There is no "There" we are all here, there is no "Them" it is all WE,,,,we're all on this ride together.
Everybody that the Nazis were bad but no one reconized hatred in Asia.The Japs must have killed over a million people in with unit 731 and death marches.Its only a sixth of what the Germans did but its still bad. Its awful to think what the experiments were like.

War fucking blows cock.
I think I know quite a few about japanese monkeys and their society. I've been exposed to them, their society, and their culture for many years. These things here show us less than 0.0000000001% of what japanese monkeys did to human beings during WWII. Wherever they went, they just killed and raped in kind of unusual ways. The monkeys were and are all violance-addicted and sexually twisted. They took millions of young Korean and Chinese girls who resisted to southern jungle, just to amuse their soldiers in battle. Many of them died of worn-out vagina. They locked up hundreds of civilians including many babies in a church and set the place on fire. These kind of disgusting cases just flow over my memory. I've got two things I'm so sure about. These monkey soldiers were not brainwashed and trained to be monsters in tales - they were only ordinary people (I mean monkeys) who came from ordinary japanese families. This is one thing. And the other thing, unlike Germans, japanese monkeys didn't change. If you have good eyes and have chances of meeting japanese monkeys, you will easily find this truth. What if you have a japanese friend (or a pet) and don't agree w/me? This situation means that you're being deceived. This is what they call 'hon-ne'. So watch out if you've got a japanese neighbour. Never trust them.

Some good shit here. Will use info for term paper due later today!
Lest anyone forgets.. During Japan's occupation of Southeast Asia, Japanese soldiers salvagely mistreated many Vietnamese and forced more 2 million Vietnamese to die from stravation.
Your page is very nformative. It is a testimony to the inhumanity of which man is capable. See the atrocities in the former Yugoslav republic. Hate will, unfortunately never die. The New York Times has recently as of last June begun to print articles on Unit 731. Such evidence should not be forgotten in the future, neither by the victoms: US Chinese, Australians, British, Dutch and canadians as well as by the perpetrators: the Japanese. Too often the Japanese society is too quick to dismiss the truth as hyperbole. Generations need to be remebered and reparations are in order. For some time, I have wanted to create a memorial to the victims of Japanese atrocties, such as the remaining American POWS and civilians contractors who were murdered on Wake Island in the last year of the war.

Again I must apologize for mans inhumanity. I never heard any of this until today. This makes Battan death march look like a walk in the park. All people should know of this and the very least the chinese people(I said people not government) should get an apology. The Japanese with all their talk of great pride and clean living should hang their heads in shame and knowing there is a special place in hell for those people!!!
I wish i could stop it.
This was an educational page, I knew a little about what had happened in Asia during this world war, but not to this extent. It is important that we have pages and books like this so that no one can forget what happened; we have to stop it from happening again. However, I was disturbed by some of the racism expressed in other's feedbacks. "If you have a Japanese neighbor, never trust them." particularly bothered me. Certainly everyone involved in the war committed horrible crimes, but we have moved past that time and it is neccisary for EVERYONE to look at the next generation as one that is seperate from its predecessors.
After reading this article and the comments, I understand that no wonder there is racial discrimination aginst the Japanese. Who in the world can stand these inhuman actions made by the Unit 731? But it is the past now, things have changed so much since then, and we should not treat the Japanese the same way as what we would back then. Instead, we should look at the Japanese and think how much have they learned from the past and changed the way they act. Then we can judge them. It is so unfair to some of the Japanese when they have to take the blame for what the other Japanese have done.
So, I guss the TRUTH IS THERE SOME WHERE.OUT THERE..Eventually, nothing ever hides. I hope,wish and pray that everyone who harmed either Humens, animales and mother nature should suffer the worst pain in this world and get what he deserves. Thank you for sharing this pice of work with us and hope this crulty will never ever be repated again. LOVE & PEACE UPON U ALL IN THIS WORLD...
Will nothing ever change?
A DAY WILL COM WHEN ALL WILL UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ANIMALS OURSELVES THAT HAVE BEEN DOMESTICATED BY THE COMEFORTABLE PAST. SOON WE WILL ALL REALIZE THAT TO DESTROY ANYTHING IS TO CAUSE HARM ON YOURSELF. BECAUSE TRUE DESTRUCTION WOULD MEAN THE END. BUT NOTHING EVER ENDS AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED. WE ARE THE PROTECTORS, THE JANITORS OF EARTH. WHAT THE FUCK IS OUR PROBLEM? WHY DON'T WE UNDERSTAND HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER. IS IT MAYBE BECAUSE WE HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE, AND WITH OUR ARROGANCE WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DISPOSE OF OR WASTE LIFE. ANYTHING ANYONE SAYS OR DOES WILL ALWAYS UPSET SOMEONE. ---------------------------------------------------------------PEACE.
I had read the book about 731. I think they used people to test the disease is a terrible thing. I hope it would not happen again in the future.
Suffering of humans by humans isn't above the game, but to do it without justifiable reason and for the benefit of no one, is simply sadistic... it Kind of makes you wonder what the USA has done... I live here and 2 faced politicians can't be telling the truth more then half the time with either side
The media wouldn't have touched this or cared, because it was not in Europe. You cannot emagine the pain and absolute horror of these "logs" were going through at the time. It shows 2 things, don't trust scientists on what is considered "for the benefit of humanity", and the media manipulate what we know. Don't believe the US gov,they are just as bad. LEARN THIS:Be sceptical, but still open minded -Be scared of governments -Be scared of medical scientists -Be scared of the 'pupet masters'
Afrer all, nobody knows that the biggest scientific experiments carried out during the WWII were those two bombs... Since then we have had no big wars around the war in history.
Your page is absolutely incredible. I creates a bit of feeling of hatred towards the human race as a whole. It makes you wonder how there can be so many terrible attrocities going on when there is so much beauty around us. Your page gives so much depth to the darkness our souls are capable of. May God have mercy on their souls.
I would rather die at the hands of the Nazis than to die at the hands of those inhuman beings. Japan will one day suffer what China had suffered...only twice as worst.
Reading your links, Concentration Camps, and Unit 731 made my blood run cold. It is disturbing finding information on humanities history like this and then coming back to the era we live in. The threat is always upon us, and as we look at history we must ask ourselves are we any different? One thing I find very hard to reconcile when I see things like this, is how to make sure it is seen as a problem for all of mankind. It bothers me that the gut racist in many of us will come to the forefront and try to point at one cultural group over another as being the only ones capable of carrying out such atrocities. To me to view it that way is making those of us who might judge these people as much a racist as the people who carried out these things in the first place. I must admit one weakness it makes me feel. In the first place I feel that the death penalty should be totally abolished, but sometimes in the dark place inside myself I can see a reserved place for the death penalty for the people in power who comit these crimes against humanity. This is one battle I don't know if I will ever be able to resolve within myself. Sylvia Hayes
This was a very helpful page, I enjoyed reading about these japanese atrocities and hope to see more articles about it in the future.
Accumulated centuries of culture and philosophy combined to foster such profound horror. Dare we hope the philosophies that allowed such to occur have disappeared in the space of 50 years.
we all hope that we can learn from the past without having to make the same mistakes over and over again. hopefully education and compassion will rule in the years to come.
One thing that pisses me off more than unit 731 is reading the anti-Japanese, pro-Chinese comments made by arseholes on this page- Do not take pride in your country- it's a fucking despotism. All that was good in China died with Mao's appearance. Mao is Buddha's evil twin. As for this hatred of the Japanes, the Japanes alive today are not the ones who commited these crimes. It is you who write these things, loving your country and hating others, who resemble the twisted japanese "doctors" and "scientists", it is you who behave like members of the fucking Hitler Youth, or the concentration camp guards, loving your culture and hating others. Only the international culture of humanity is of any value. manch@imaginator.com
i think what happend, happend. It's in the past and we know what happened was wrong. But there's nothing we can do to change the past or the way these innocent people were treated. it's not fair to just say forget about it, but at least drop the grudges and let it lie. It was a bad part of history but we all have to deal with it. I liked this page it has helped me grip a sense of what went on so I cound write my paper a little better. Thant you Steven Butler in Tokyo!
All that I have to say is Good job you have all the info that nead for my project thacks!!!!!!!!
This is a good site-if you want to find more use one of your search engines and use the search word "Nanking" there is a ton of info on both excite and yahoo. It is incredible that the US, in our attempts to be the most self serving country in the free world, have permitted the population to remain ignorant to the crimes committed by our "allies" of the post WWII world. Let's all hope that more people become enlightened to this and all other matters of this sort so that justice may finally be served. I welcome all responses to this.
It is really a strange phenomenon that all fascist nations repented over the past history but not Japan. I think you have done a good job in providing the facts in World War II to the international community.

May the Japanese Empire burn in hell for it's role in a holocaust forgotten. To the bastards in the Japanese government..where is our apology? At least Germany had enough dignity and humanity to apologize and pay restitution..Screw each and everyone of those denying right winged son's of bitches in the Japanese government.
Hi. I'm supposed to be doing an essay and using this stuff to compare it to. I'm not and didn't read this. But some people were swearing at other races. WE ALL JUST NEED TO GET ALONG. If everyone of us is nice to just one other person the world will be a better place. Thank you, Houston, over and out. PS-That Japanese dude in the Puff Daddy video rules.
I have been studying the barbarity of the Germans during World War II for a number of years and have been obsessed with it to the exclusion of studying the other powers in the war. Since I am also the grandson of a World War II Marine, who fought the Japanese from 1943 to the war's end, I have been going back and researching the Pacific Theatre of Operations and have recently "stumbled" on the wartime atrocities committed in the Pacific. Your page has been exceedingly helpful in disseminating this information. Thanks.
I never realised that these tortures happend so much. I'm glad for once that I took the time to read something serious like the Zero Tolerance Page. Please, inform us more.
