Sworn to secrecy by the Japanese Imperial Army, Hideo Shimizu carried the horrors he saw at the notorious Unit 731 facility with him for more than 70 years.
The 93-year-old was just 14 when he was drafted as a cadet to the city of Harbin, in what was then Japanese-occupied Manchuria, during World WaR 2.
There, he was groomed to take part in some of history's worst atrocities - human experiments carried out on prisoners of war including pregnant women and small children.
More than 3,000 people - mostly Chinese civilians, but also Russian, British and American POWs - were dissected alive, infected with bubonic plague and used as human guinea-pigs for frost-bite treatments in nightmarish torture laboratories.
Decades on, innocent pictures of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren reminded Shimizu of the faces of the many victims he came across in the slaughterhouse.

Japanese were experimenting to unleash the plague on us.
Amazingly the DEI loons teach that racism is uniquely white. Notice the treatment of Japan to every neighboring country.
I witnessed unimaginable horrors in Japan’s WW2 human experiment unit... I had to speak out for the sake of my children: Vet, 93, describes jars full of human bodies at notorious Unit 731 where POWs were dissected ALIVE and infected with plague

The hatred of the Chinese for the Japanese after WWII is legend:
In the book “The Rape of Nanking”, a Chinese general was said to say that China demanded that every Japanese male over 20 be put to death, the rest sterilized and used as slaves until the die. All females would be sterilized and used for pleasure ladies. All children would also be put to death.
When told this was too extreme, he was asked to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On seeing these cities, he remarked, “You Americans do good work”.
Years ago I reas a book on the Jap unit that did unimaginable horrors on people, mostly Chinese but also American POWs, with the hopes of using those horrors against the US.
I’ve said time and time again the Japs made ISIS look like amateurs
The Japanese were a whole lot worse that the Germans. What the Japanese did would have horrified Mengele.
The murdered at least 20 million in this program; the actual numbers are likely much higher.

I’m no expert on WWII but in my humble opinion one would have to wonder why would Japan hook up with the Germans who were led by Hitler at that time.
Even though we did not know the extent of his own horrible policies until after the war. He did not look like a good guy but Japan throwing in their lot with them said a lot about who they were. No?
Wow. I was completely unaware of this dark chapter. Thanks for posting.
Two points, please:
1. No Unit 731 officer had to pay for his monstrous crimes. Everyone involved went back to living normal lives.

2. There are people in EVERY country who would happily serve in a Unit 731 or at an Auschwitz. This is something we must never lose sight of.
I learned all I needed to know about the barbarity of the Germans during WWII by visiting the concentration camps at Dachau and Flossenburg. I will never forget the forboding sense of evil that surrounded Dachau.
Of course, I learned all I needed to know about Islam on 9/11/2001.

It was a marriage of convenience. For the same reason, the UK ended up on the same side as the Soviet Union.
I doubt this guy was recruited just to be a witness.
Whatever he did, he was probably just following orders.
Or, if he was giving orders, at least he wasn't the one carrying out the atrocities.
Either way, it was someone else's fault. (/s)
> Yup, the Japanese were about as bad as...and maybe even a bit worse than...the Germans during the 1930s/1940s. <
My father was a WW2 veteran. He served on convey patrol in the North Atlantic, guarding against the U-Boats. I never heard him same anything bad against Germans.
But he hated the Japanese. For that reason I never bought a Japanese car while he was alive. He would have disowned me. I suspect Pearl Harbor made the difference.
Would China use atomic weapons on Japan? Would North Korea? YES. This is why, If we have a WW III Japan will stay neutral and not support the west, and risk nukes upon their cities. No, just as America fears too many battlefield deaths, Japan fears a nuke attack. Putin’s treaty with Kim, locks Japan from helping America in any coming war. The Japanese navy will only be used for anti-pirate duties and homeland defense. One less headache for Russia/China/Iran/ North Korea Axis.
Grandma talked about hiding in the mountains in Mindanao when she was a child.
Look up Korean “Comfort Women”.
See what they did in China.
Never forget what these Savages did.
And they still teach kids the same shiiite in schools.
Methinks China may have something to say to their neighbor about this stuff in the near future.
Read Song for Nagasaki. “On August 9, 1945, an American B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, killing tens of thousands of people in the blink of an eye, while fatally injuring and poisoning thousands more. Among the survivors was Takashi Nagai, a pioneer in radiology research and a convert to the Catholic Faith. Living in the rubble of the ruined city and suffering from leukemia caused by over-exposure to radiation, Nagai lived out the remainder of his remarkable life by bringing physical and spiritual healing to his war-weary people.
A Song for Nagasaki tells the moving story of this extraordinary man, beginning with his boyhood and the heroic tales and stoic virtues of his family’s Shinto religion. It reveals the inspiring story of Nagai’s remarkable spiritual journey from Shintoism to atheism to Catholicism. Mixed with interesting details about Japanese history and culture, the biography traces Nagai’s spiritual quest as he studied medicine at Nagasaki University, served as a medic with the Japanese army during its occupation of Manchuria, and returned to Nagasaki to dedicate himself to the science of radiology. The historic Catholic district of the city, where Nagai became a Catholic and began a family, was ground zero for the atomic bomb.
After the bomb disaster that killed thousands, including Nagai’s beloved wife, Nagai, then Dean of Radiology at Nagasaki University, threw himself into service to the countless victims of the bomb explosion, even though it meant deadly exposure to the radiation which eventually would cause his own death. While dying, he also wrote powerful books that became best-sellers in Japan. These included The Bells of Nagasaki, which resonated deeply with the Japanese people in their great suffering as it explores the Christian message of love and forgiveness. Nagai became a highly revered man and is considered a saint by many Japanese people. “
The Japanese and Chinese have hated each other for centuries.
Stalin nearly went to war with the USA after we smuggled Japanese scientists and documentation from that camp.
“The MenBehind the Sun.” Is the only movie I think was made about it. Not for the weak of heart. Available on YouTube.
Read the book Death March if you can get your hands on it. Incredible book
