Japan's Infamous Unit 731: Firsthand Accounts of Japan's Wartime Human Experimentation Program by Hal Gold
3.0
Very educational but read very textbook-y so at times hard to follow if you’re not up to date with terms, places, etc.
Personal testimonies always the most moving.
It’s insane to think that this was all occurring/ending around the time I was born and that 30ish years later I’m just learning about the atrocities. If these sort of war acts were performed in Asia, Europe, etc… does that mean they’ve happened everywhere throughout time? I think yes, makes me lose a little faith in humanity.
‘There is nothing more stupid and fearful than war.’
‘The build up of a big invading army has been forgotten. The present situation in Japan is cause for concern, some people see a similarity with the 1930’s. Are we now in a post war era or a pre war era? This is a strange atmosphere, and we are in the midst of a strange education.’
Dangers of feeling like ‘the superior race’ and what genocide does to a culture
