While I am very happy to see another geo channel hosted by Simon, the editing on this on is subpar and in stark contrast to the other channels. The addition of AI generated images add nothing of value and rather than depicting the historical scenarios they distort them. Edo era style images of beautiful mountain villages has nothing to do with the brutalistic aesthetics of this Meiji (not maji...) era industrial complexes. In my opinion they remove the reality from the stories that should be told and introduces false images in peoples' minds. An unfortunate choice by the editor.

Thinking about countries that have dealt with the darkness in their past, including nations that have gone too far in shaming the young generations into believing that they carry guilt just because of their ethnicity, Germany comes to mind. Japan is very different. Germany has gone beyond just apologizing for the past, they incessantly tell the world about all of the worst atrocities from the past, and they are committed to perpetually reliving them. Japan denies most of the worst of its wartime atrocities. If emperor Hirohito had been treated as the war criminal that he was, perhaps Japan would fully acknowledge what happened to the so-called “comfort women”. Instead, Hirohito was honored with diplomatic state visits throughout Europe and North America for decades after the war. So, almost none of the worst Japanese war criminals were punished in any way. The nationalism that can be spotted in the old state Shinto shrines today in Japan is disturbing.

I don't understand why some people write comments without doing their own research. Is the pc in front of you just a box? It is true that there were workers from the Korean Peninsula on Gunkanjima, but they were never forced. They were paid, and above all, very well. All of this is documented in Japan. Everything from official documents to private diaries. There are documents released as evidence by the Korean government claiming that they were coerced, but on the contrary, they prove that they were not coerced by stating that they were paid a high salary. It can't be helped, they can't read kanji. Even after the war, the miners on this island were not poor. While the TV penetration rate for all of Japan is 10%, Gunkanjima has achieved 100%. I know some of you have a lot to say to this comment, but I urge you to do your own research. There are tons of documents on the Japanese side. The Japanese love records.

[@stuartmorley6894]

So the workers who's testimonies in this video are just made up?

[@Wezqu]

I just have to say that your statement is so one sided that its not even funny. You also are condescending towards the opposite viewpoint by your own statement of them not being able to read kanji. I would not take your assurances of documents or dairies as any proof of that there was no force labor on the island knowing how the world was back then and how Japanese operated. There might be documents stating that they got paid but in reality you have no proof that money even got to those people. I could easily counter with stating that most likely those "documents" were created in the end or after the war to try to avoid any prosecutions from the occupying force of the human rights violations they knew they had committed. Its the same thing that many German companies did to try to keep themselves around after the war because they knew they very guilty. You also just ignore any Korean saying that they were abused on the island because your biased viewpoint. Even in this video its clear that there was very intentional cherry picking of "witness testimonies" to get more likable view to the matter. German government at least accepts the wrong doings of WWII but its clear Japanese government still tries to hide things to make themselves look better and thats sad as nobody would anyway link the modern government to the WWII in anyway if they just did not try to hide stuff from back then. Like its history and burying it will not make anything look better its going to still be there.

[@0STRIDER]

@@Wezqu t doesn't prove that there was no forced labor on Gunkanjima. There is no proof that they were paid.” And the claim that “the document may have been created after the war,” but there is more than one piece of evidence that salaries were paid. There are pay stubs, bank account records, the Japan Mining Association's “Report on Peninsular Laborers,” and company records of the time. On the contrary, the photos of the forced laborers released by the Korean side as evidence are Japanese, and even the identity of who they are from is known. Suppose, as you claim, that wages have not been paid. However, even if that were the case, everything has been resolved under the Japan-Korea Basic Treaty. The Korean government has rejected the Japanese government's proposal to pay the wages to individuals, and the Korean government will pay the wages to individuals.

[@0STRIDER]

The comparison between Japan and Germany, in which “Germany has reflected on its past and compensated for it” and “Japan has neither reflected on nor compensated for its past,” is a misguided comparison. Even after the Supreme Court decision in Korea, the same pattern of story that Germany created a “relief fund” for forced laborers during the war and made amends, but Japan has done nothing, has appeared. 　First of all, the “forced labor” carried out by Germany was unparalleled in its cruelty. A large number of prisoners of war (mainly Soviet soldiers), Jews in concentration camps, and civilians in the occupied territories (Poland and other Eastern European countries) were victims of “forced labor. The total number is said to have been as high as 7 million and as low as 10 million. 　Wartime prisoners of war were lumped together, while concentration camp inmates were sorted and taken to the factories of German companies. In the occupied territories, “civilians were violently hunted and rounded up on the streets and from private homes. The company said. Of course, in most cases, no wages were paid. It was truly “slave labor.

[@0STRIDER]

Compared to the Japanese case, it is clear that Japan's wartime mobilization from the Korean peninsula is on a completely different level from Germany's “forced labor,” both in terms of mobilization methods and treatment. Not only that, but the postwar handling of the situation is also decisively different. Japan concluded the San Francisco Peace Treaty, and on the basis of this peace treaty, Japan has concluded bilateral treaties with other countries to settle compensation issues and claims in good faith. Since Korea is not a belligerent, it has made a “full and final” postwar settlement regarding its claims as a “separate and independent region from Japan” as stipulated in the San Francisco Treaty. 　Germany, on the other hand, has not concluded a peace treaty due to the fact that it was divided into East and West. Therefore, the postwar settlement of compensation issues and claims with the warring parties was “put on hold” until the end of the partition and the conclusion of a peace treaty (London Debt Agreement of 1953). In 1991, the so-called “2+4” treaty between East and West Germany and the U.S., U.K., France, and the Soviet Union (dare I say it, a peace treaty) was concluded and Germany was unified, but this treaty did not include war reparations or the settlement of claims. 　To date, Germany has not concluded any interstate treaties with belligerents or occupying powers regarding the end of the war or postwar settlement. This is why ten years ago, Greece, in the midst of a financial crisis, responded to German demands for repayment of its debts by offering to repay them with German war reparations. In addition, when individual issues such as compensation for forced labor were raised, the lack of an interstate agreement on postwar handling left Greece with no choice but to respond by establishing a fund on a case-by-case basis. 　Regarding the mobilization of workers during the war, Japan and Germany did things differently and handled postwar issues in completely different ways.

Every single country has skeletons in its closet. That goes doubly for prosperous countries. I do think governments should acknowledge and apologize for their predecessors' sins. However, I do not for one moment believe modern citizens should be held accountable for things that happened long before they were born, sometimes even centuries before. Generational resentment is extremely dangerous and has been the cause of many horrible things. It was the cause of the Rwandan (censored word so this doesn't get auto-deleted) The current government of mainland China is stoking generational resentment among their people for things that happened 80 years ago. It has held down massive groups of people by political profiteers for decades in many different parts of the world. People need to move on from the horrors of the past. Constantly reliving them prevents healing and precludes the possibility of nations working together. Thankfully, things seem to be changing in the region with many East/Southeast Asian countries now willing to ally with Japan (due to potential Chinese aggression)
