Unit 731 committed what must be the worst war crimes. Man Behind The Sun is a good film to watch about it. It's difficult viewing but a great example of just how cruel people can be to each other. Maruta was used as the codename of the camp as they taught the soldiers to treat the people like blocks of wood.

Yeah what a terrible thing 731 was…. Almost makes you wish they would have dropped those bombs sooner .

This one was really horrible and made me physically ill, all those sick, terrible experiments done by the Japanese. I lived in Germany in the 80s and visited some of the death camps and the ss headquarters and those places were enough to make you sick just standing on the premises. THE ATTMOSPHERE WAS PURE EVIL. Listening today brought that feeling back to me and I cried for awhile.

[@52ponybike]

Thank you, Tawnya. Finally, a commenter with feelings. I too, felt physically ill. It appears that most of the comments are made by sociopaths with zero regard for innocents suffering. God bless you.

[@a-sheepof-christ9027]

@@52ponybike I think it is more likely the supposed sociopaths dont like the historical narrative of one single evil being forced upon them. With all evils in the world people tend to focus on the one most remote from their own reality: which is why they love to hate Nazis; but will defend whatever evil they themselves are guilty of.

[@jenniferjoseph1560]

You have a beautiful soul! Those who never forget the horrors are willing to fight against the enemy and the evil! I hope you are happy and safe!

[@masterquark1347]

I remember reading a play in 10th grade English about this exact Salem witch trial. People accused others for more land or just out of anger.

[@ryohoshi8445]

There's a few errors in the Salem Witch Trials. Off the top of my head: The Hammer of Witchcraft was a weird conspiracy-theorist rant for witch-hunters whose author claimed that a cleric was a co-author to make it reputable--apparently, the guy protested but nobody's been interested enough to stop pretending he wrote the book. Giles Corey refused to plead because if the trial got past that point, his property was entirely forfeit, traditionally to his accuser--but if he died without pleading, his heirs would still inherit. He knew he was going to die, but he wanted the best outcome for his heirs.

[@unterdessen8822]

"The Hammer of Witches" is not a manual for witches. It's a 1486 manual for witch hunters, written by Heinrich Kramer (a churchman) in Germany. It's also known by its Latin title "Malleus Maleficarum" (literally "The Hammer for the Evil", i.e. a destructive instrument to deal with evil forces) or by its German title "Der Hexenhammer" (literally "The Witch-Hammer", i.e. the meaning is closer to "The Hammer for (the destruction of) Witches"). It IS the most definite compendium on witches, demons and other unholy forces, but its main purpose is to explain how to recognise and destroy them, not to conjure up demons. So... if Tituba was quoting *that*, she may have been closer to being a witch hunter than being a witch. I don't know how she would have gotten her hands on this book - it was very popular all over Europe and translated into many languages, but Salem in North America was a bit off the usual book salesmen's tracks. Anyway, I can imagine, that as a black or mixed woman from the Caribbean she would have adhered to a syncretic faith like Voodoo or Santeria, where Christianity mixed with African and Native American beliefs. So she may have had a very basic, literal understanding of fending off bad spirits, and if she had access to that book, she may have seen it as a source of words, that repelled evil. Meaning, she wasn't trying to cast a spell as a witch, but trying to use a protective prayer, to fend off witches.

[@elvirafeher4254]

Thank you for your excellent explanation. It must have taken a lot of research on your part.

[@ZombieSazza]

“More weight” whilst in unimaginable pain, where they are trying to force you admit guilt where you are not guilty, knowing that you will suffer twice as much, is so depressingly amazing. He knew what was up and was willing to die to prove his innocence.

[@paigecarlson6464]

ahhh yes, my favorite part of the day. curling up in bed listening to Joel 😭incredibly thankful for you. it might sound silly but your videos are one of the only things that help relax my mind and drift off to sleep🖤

[@ValentinaStJohn]

I can appreciate the time and work that was put into your videos, this one especially. I also love listening to your clear and smooth voice.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Unit 731... any Dark Pictures fans in the audience? Especially with the location being Japan occupied Manchuria, and the details of the horrific experiments performed on POWs, I would think it's safe to say this is the place that formed the basis for the place where "Manchurian Gold" was first manufactured. The heartless manner of the experiments, the use of various viruses and vivisections, also makes me think of Resident Evil's own Umbrella corporation.

[@lindsey9189]

This was a great video, a sad look at some of humanity’s history but you did an excellent job with background and details, and being respectful to the victims and their stories. RIP to all those poor innocent souls 💔

The thing about the Salem witch trials is that we can look back now and recognize extreme mental illness and even psychedelic use. The theory goes that on their harvest that year, the conditions were just right in the storehouse for psychedelic growth. People were tripping, and on top of it all the power complex of the church was tearing a hole in itself
