Germans, Japanese, WWII and 2 Whack Doctors

WWII was one of the most horrid times in the history of planet Earth. Events like the Holocaust or the conquering of Nanking are events to look at and think to ourselves how countries like Japan and Germany do such a thing to many innocent civilians. Both countries pushed America's buttons to enter war but Japan really put the icing on the WWII cake when they bombed Pearl Harbor. As we are taught what barbaric things Germany and Japan did to others, we can't help but still have sour feelings about them, which isn't good because only part of each population decided to take part in the terrible deeds.


Probably the worst thing Germany did was exterminate 6 million Jews known as the Holocaust. A population of 5 million people that were Poles, Gypsies, Homosexuals or mentally/physical handicapped people were also killed bringing a total death toll to 11 million. 11 million innocent people had their blood shed because they weren't liked by Nazis ran by their nutcase leader Adolf Hitler. We see images of poor prisoners in concentration camps slowly dying due to terrible conditions or seeing their innocent eyes in pain as they await a fate that ends with them getting gassed. Atrocious, but all true. America may remember Japan the most for the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but the overtaking of Nanking, China was very barbaric. They killed thousands of Chinese men, women and children. Soldiers would rape innocent and females and toss infants by bayonets. How can people go through with this? All soldiers were brainwashed by dictators, who not only owned their countries, but the minds of the civilians.


Now we look at two doctors who weren't really the kind of doctor you wouldn't want to see call you into their room as you wait in the waiting room. These weren't doctors that tried to nurse you full health, but use you as a lab rat to get ideas how to nurse people to death. These doctors were Josef Mengele of Germany and Shiro Ishii of Japan. Josef Mengele was known as the "Angel of Death." He would run tests on small, innocent children prisoners at concentration camps. He would put his "patients" in pressure chambers, test them with drugs, castrate them and then freeze them to death. Some experiments he ran was when he gathered 14 Gypsy twins and watched them sleep as he injected chloroform in their hearts. He then dissected the bodies and took notes on each piece. He also ran an experiment where he would inject chemicals in children's eyes in attempt to change the color of their eyes. He also performed surgery such as sex-change surgery.


Shiro Ishii had his own lab called Unit 731, 14 miles from Harbin, Japan. In his lab, he would mix deadly pathogens which would create disease such anthrax, plague, gas gangrene, smallpox and botulism.  He would use Chinese prisoners to eat and inject his deadly pathogen brew. Thousands of Chinese prisoners were killed due to Ishii's creations of prosperity.


The Holocaust and Nanking were horrible events that killed many of the innocent. However, we look at these tragic events and remember to never again let history repeat itself. Sure, there is innocent killings happening around the world all the time, but we got to make sure to try to decrease the violence going on and try to make the world a peaceful place.
