Behind Forgotten Eyes-Japanese war crimes 日本の戦争犯罪-日本軍慰安婦性奴隷

日本の戦争犯罪-日本軍慰安婦性奴隷

Nuremberg. The trials of Nazi war criminals in the aftermath of the Second World War are well known around the world as an example of justice delivered. Yet there were other unspeakable crimes stemming from that war, and for their victims, justice has been denied. Germany has reckoned with her wartime past. When, if ever, will Japan do the same? Behind Forgotten Eyes presents the stories of a few brave women who came forward and broke the silence protecting a past that some want to stay buried. What are these stories that were hidden for so long? Whilst Korea groaned under the harsh colonial rule of Imperial Japan, the Japanese military coerced, tricked, and forced the women of Korea into a brutal and systematic form of sexual slavery on an unimaginable scale. During colonial Japan's wars, the Japanese military procured more than 200,000 Korean girls and women to serve as sexual slaves. Forbidden to leave the rickety shacks hastily constructed near the front lines of Imperial Japan's aggressive wars, often with a blanket as the room's only "furniture", they were forced to have sex with some 30-40 men every day.

To this day, the Japanese government has yet to formally apologize or pay compensation to these women. This film touches not only on the past but also the vital lesson that history must not be allowed to repeat itself. Behind Forgotten Eyes examines the enduring legacy of this horrifying chapter of history in both Korea and Japan. As the first English-language film to tackle this volatile issue, Behind Forgotten Eyes aims to focus the world's attention on this unsettled aspect of Japan's colonial heritage and to educate an American public unfamiliar with East Asian history and modern society. Behind Forgotten Eyes combines first-hand accounts from both Korean women and Japanese soldiers who lived through the nightmare with the expert testimony of academics, social activists, and professionals from Japan, Korea, and the United States to offer a candid look into an issue that has been ignored for far too long. Time is running out for these women and their stories. Written by Anthony Gilmore

What's worse than being raped? Being raped 50 times a day.

Its is a travesty that this man got to live to a ripe old age. He did not deserve it. Quite frankly Japan as a nation did not deserve the prosperity that came after the war. And, it is a travesty that Emperor Hirohito and his family got to live after all of the harm they have caused others. I am directly this message to any descendant of Emperor Hirohito: You and your family deserve to die a horrible death.

老兵金子在抚顺战犯管理所是用罪认教育被洗脑了的人物。这个战犯­为何被释放了？　为了是中国利用金子。
