The Hidden Atrocities of the Pacific War | WWII’s Darkest Secrets
Published 8 hours ago
Description
What really happened in the Pacific theater of World War II… and why do we hear so little about it?
In this episode, Dani is joined by historian and researcher Jenny Chan, founder of Pacific Atrocities Education. Jenny’s work focuses on uncovering overlooked and suppressed histories from the Pacific Asian theater of World War II—stories that rarely make it into mainstream history books.
Jenny shares her personal journey into researching wartime atrocities and explains why so many of these events remained hidden for decades. Together, we dive into one of the most shocking tragedies of the war—the sinking of the Arisan Maru—a devastating disaster that killed more American POWs than almost any other maritime tragedy in U.S. history.
We also revisit the horrifying experiments conducted by Unit 731, the secret biological and chemical warfare program of the Imperial Japanese Army, and discuss why the full truth about these crimes remained buried for so long.
