DESCRIPTION:
During WWII, Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research unit of the Imperial Japanese Army, located in Harbin, China. Together with affiliated units throughout Asia, these units saw the most horrendous prisoner experiments conducted in a systematic manner.

“If the German government refused to acknowledge the holocaust, there’d be international outrage. When Japan does something similar with Unit 731, though, there’s barely a murmur outside Asia.” – Journeyman Pictures

“The Auschwitz Museum is a World Heritage site and the symbol of inhumanity. The Unit 731 Museum in Harbin is unheard of.” –Old Letters from China

“… at the same time the Allies were prosecuting the Nazi doctors and sentencing them to death, we (United States) were gathering data from the Japanese doctors and sheltering them from prosecution.” – Military Medical Ethics
