Asian Auschwitz

                When I was reading this article, I got sick to my stomach. I will never thought a person could do these things to another person and get away with it. The Anti-Epidemic Water Supply and Purification Bureau, also known as “unit 731”, ran by a man named Shiro Ishii has to be one of the most gross and inhumane camp I have ever read about.
                This organization was beyond inhumane. I believe that the Japanese were doing way worse things than the Nazis. The humans that were held there were known as “maruta” but they were more commonly called “logs” because people thought that Unit 731 was a lumber mill. The people or "logs" were treated horrible. I could never imagine how scary and painful it was for them. The torture that they got was beyond inhumane. Things like getting hung upside down to see how long it would take for them to choke and die or injecting them with diseases. They also did some experiments like exposing their lungs to phosgene gas just to see the effect it had on them.

                Prisoners would get taken to a room and a surgeon would dissect them piece by piece with only a scalpel, and they were all conscious and alive. They would finally die once they fully bled out or the dissector got to the heart. It said that when the prisoners were getting taken to a room they wouldn’t even fight it. They wouldn’t fight it because they were very aware that they had absolutely no chance at living. So they would let the worker strap them down without freaking out. They began to scream once the surgeon started to begin the dissection. They screamed and screamed but eventually it stopped. I could never want to feel the pain the prisoner felt or knowing that it’s the end of my life and there is nothing that I could do about it. How terrible would that be?

                Ishii and his men were doing their terrible experiments on all kinds of people. For example Chinese, Koreans, Soviets, Mongolians. The Japanese had plans to poison American cattle so they would become worthless and possible even kill thousands of American’s. They also had a plan to send a Kamikaze bomb to San Diego with lots of airplanes before the war was finished. Ishii and his men killed approximately 12,000 men, women, and children, and not one person from their facility got out alive. I am still having a hard time understanding how a person can murder 12,000 people and be able to gone the rest of his life without any punishment. I would have sentenced him to death or sentence him to feel the pain he put on all of his prisoners.
                This story made me sick to my stomach. I cant believe someone could have the heart to do that to other human beings. Everything that Ishii did was wrong and unforgivable, there was no reason for him to put a person in that much pain for just small results.
