Pacific Atrocities Education Discusses WWII War Crimes in Asia

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode, we sit down with Jenny Chan, founder of Pacific Atrocities Education ( https://www.pacificatrocities.org ), to explore the hidden history of Imperial Japan's systematic atrocities during World War II—a chapter largely erased from American consciousness. From the Roosevelt administration's alleged censorship of Japanese war crimes to the horrific experiments of Unit 731, we delve into the uncomfortable truths that have been buried for decades.Jenny reveals how her organization emerged from Chinese-American families determined to share their grandparents' untold stories, and why 26 million lives lost in the Asia-Pacific Theater remain largely forgotten in mainstream historical narratives. We examine the forced labor of millions of Chinese civilians, and the post-war deals that granted immunity to perpetrators in exchange for their research.This conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about WWII, exposing how geopolitical expediency shaped historical memory and why understanding these atrocities matters for contemporary human rights and justice. A must-listen for anyone interested in hidden history, Asian-American studies, or the long shadows cast by war crimes and government cover-ups.Topics Covered:The founding of Pacific Atrocities EducationRoosevelt's WWII censorship controversyUnit 731's biological warfare experimentsThe comfort women system of sexual slaveryChinese forced labor under Imperial Japanese occupationPost-war immunity deals for war criminalsThe ongoing fight for historical justiceSupport the showEvery Unsolved Case Deserves a Voice.Somewhere right now, a family is waiting for answers.
