There is a strong focus in our schools on war crimes. However, we seldom mention or merely scratch the surface of the atrocities by Japan in WWII. The Japanese have committed countless acts of inhumane treatment in WWII. Enforced sex slavery (“comfort women”) and abusive biochemical testing on civilians and soldiers alike in Unit 731 should be taught just as rigorously as the horrors of the Holocaust.
We need to educate the youth of America on all the historical facts of WWII, including those of the Japanese human rights violations, so that these same violations of human rights are not repeated.
