He Built the Deadliest Science Lab In Human History but Was Never Brought to Justice
The chilling tale of Shiro Ishii and Unit 731
A five-year-old boy looks on as a Japanese soldier enters his village near Nanking in July 1942. The soldier has a bag stuffed with candy and pastries.
He gathers near the playing children. As he hands out the treats, a broad grin spreads across his face. The kids are ecstatic.
The boy gets a bar of chocolate and sprints with joy.
Who doesn’t enjoy candy?
But the kid soon finds out that the candy he ate wasn’t regular candy. He shivers with a fever. Blisters erupt on his body. He can’t stop throwing up.
To the horror of his parents, the boy soon dies. Panic spreads as other kids in the village who ate the sweet treats fall ill and many of them drop dead.
The smiling Japanese soldier gave the kids candies and cakes laced with anthrax.
It was a part of a horrific experiment.
He was following the orders of a heartless scientist, a man who didn’t care about the lives of other humans. He thought his sadistic research could help his country win the war.
