We Japanese Have Been Defamed! POW Atrocities Never Happened

70 years on, Japanese firm to apologize to US WWII veterans

A major Japanese corporation will offer a landmark apology this weekend for using U.S. prisoners of war for forced labor during World War II, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center that is hosting the event.

A senior executive of Mitsubishi Materials Corp. will apologize to 94-year-old James Murphy, of Santa Maria, California, and relatives of other former POWs who toiled at plants its predecessor company operated in Japan during the conflict.

Masato Otaka, spokesman for the Japanese Embassy in Washington, said to the extent of his knowledge, it was an initiative of Mitsubishi Materials. He said the Japanese government has no involvement.

Japan's government issued a formal apology to American POWs in 2009 and again in 2010, but until now, the dwindling ranks of veterans have gained little traction in their demand that Japanese corporations that used them as slaves at mines and industrial plants under often brutal conditions do the same.

Certainly. They will be paid the exact same amount that Mitsubishi Materials pays its other employees for service zangyou.

I can already predict Take's comment on this:

"Did you whiteys make plantation owners pay black slaves for all the work they did? No eh? Same thing!"
