Japans Holocaust is a comprehensive exploration of Japans mass murder and sexual crimes during the Pacific and Asian Wars from 1927 to 1945.Japans Holocaust combines research conducted in over eighteen research facilities in five nations to explore Imperial Japans atrocities from 1927 to 1945 during its military expansions and reckless campaigns throughout Asia and the Pacific. This book brings together the most recent scholarship and new primary research to ascertain that Japan claimed a minimum of thirty million lives, slaughtering far more than Hitlers Nazi Germany. Japans Holocaust shows that Emperor Hirohito not only knew about the atrocities his legions committed, but actually ordered them. He did nothing to stop them when they exceeded even the most depraved persons imagination, as illustrated during the Rape of Nanking as well as many other events. Japans Holocaust will document in painful detail that the Rape of Nanking was not an isolated event during the Asian War but rather representative of how Japan behaved for all its campaigns throughout Asia and the Pacific from 1927 to 1945.Mass murder, rape, and economic exploitation was Japans modus operandi during this time period, and whereas Hitlers SS Deaths Head outfits attempted to hide their atrocities, Hirohitos legions committed their atrocities out in the open with fanfare and enthusiasm. Moreover, whereas Germany has done much since World War II to atone for its crimes and to document them, Japan has been absolutely disgraceful with its reparations for its crimes and in its efforts to educate its population about its wartime past. Shockingly, Japan continues, in general, to glorify is criminals and its wartime past.
