Recommended: China during the late 1940s

The Chinese government has over the past few decades uncovered evidence of a horrible crime committed in the former Japanese state of Manchuko, in northeast China. Thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children murdered 75 years ago leave their remains in the ground and in the memories of a precious few who bore witness in a time of foreign occupation. Japan does not officially recognize any military operations in China to which this massive crime can be attributed. The United States, whose own military occupied Japan and investigated its wartime actions following World War II, seems not to care about the alleged crimes of its former enemies. Bt According to the United States and Japan, exactly zero people died in the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification department of the Kwantung Army, otherwise known as the infamous Unit 731 complex. During the decade before World War II officially ended, Unit 731 operated as a human research facility under the cruel gaze of General Shiro …show more content…

Our exhibit contrasts what is seen in the daylight – the ignorance and secrecy of peace after the war – and what is concealed in the night – a terrible, criminal act against millions of innocent people, disguised as part of the “Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification department”. We present the audience with images, records, and information that bring vivid reality, and significance to an event that is often overlooked and dismissed. The United States and Japan want to turn a blind eye to a horrific human rights violation, the torture and death of a quarter million innocent people. Publicizing Unit 731 will help to memorialize the sacrifices made by those who suffered under General Ishii. As long as people keep retelling the story their loss will never be forgotten. Including our exhibit in the museum will help to immortalize this tragic and forgotten story for generations to

The Holocaust will never be forgotten, and neither will the stories from those who survived. There are many similarities, differences, situations, and reasons as to why they are even being one of the voices. When we started the “Night” unit, it was Kitty who introduced us to Auschwitz, but ended with the corpse staring back at Wiesel after his descriptive journey through hell and back. They both survived, and wanted to tell their story. They deserve to have their story to be heard, not just listened to, and our world needs to change so it won’t happen again.

It may not seem like it, but the Jewish Documentation Center saved many lives by fighting crime through documents. This process brought many Jews to freedom and shows consequences of action, because a lot of people who went through with the Documentation Center lost their lives trying to help. This organization eventually brought people to stand out and help. But those who did nothing, not only should feel sorry, but should now realize how big of a difference they could have made in someone’s life, missing that opportunity should mean a lot to someone especially in this case. The Museum of Tolerance, also known as The Jewish Documentation Center, is important for people to remember because it holds very important information and events that were held during the Holocaust.

The blanket smothered it all: hangings, rapings, massacres, burnings, a war. They called the Guatemalan genocide “the Silent Holocaust” (“Guatemala 1982”). But it was not silent to indigenous Guatemalans of all cultures, to Mayans, or to those in the Guerilla Army of the Poor.

Hersey’s straight, simple narrative technique presents the catastrophe in its raw form, including the voices of those who experienced the bombing firsthand. He does so without showing bias or raising the question of whether or not the United States should have dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. While many citizens of Hiroshima “continued to feel a hatred for Americans which nothing could possibly erase,” (117) some, like Mrs. Nakamura, “remained more or less indifferent about the ethics of using the bomb.” (117). Despite mixed reactions of the people of Hiroshima themselves, never does the author condemn the decision to drop the bomb, nor does he condone

As a tv reporter who has traveled worldwide, I believe that the photograph “The Napalm Girl” published in the New York Times on June 9th 1972 expresses the reality on what is happening during wars to children. With this letter, I would like to express my deep concerns that this picture should be known globally to spread awareness of the human capacity of atrocity. I understand that this type of picture may shock some people. However, I think that looking at this type of photograph is the only way to inform people of the conditions of some young children. “The Napalm Girl” is a worldwide known emotional photograph taken by Nick Ut on June 8th 1972.
