Japanese War Crimes

Text us

In this episode of Anthology of Horror, we plunge into some of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century: the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. From the systematic slaughter and sexual violence of the Nanjing Massacre to the grotesque human experimentation carried out by Unit 731, this is a story of cruelty without parallel.

Told with unflinching honesty but delivered with solemn restraint, the episode paints a vivid historical picture of how Japan’s imperial ambitions turned ordinary men into monsters—and why denial and forgetting are just as dangerous as the crimes themselves.

Listener discretion is strongly advised. This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence, sexual violence, and crimes against humanity.
