Germany and Japan were two perpetrators of WWII.
Hypothetically, imagine that Germany takes so much pride in a Nazi training camp that it registers the camp on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It promotes theteacherof the camp as a hero.
How would it make victims in invaded countries feel?

Shoka Sonjuku was an elite academy that taught about the need for invasion.
In 2015, Shoka Sonjuku was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
How do you think victims in invaded countries feel?

In 2001, Germany registered the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Zollverein Coal Mine was the world’s largest coal-mining facility.
During WWII, many prisoners of war were put to forced labor there.
However, Germany didn’t try to downplay its war crimes to register the coal mine on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Germany made it clear that it committed wrongdoing.

Hashima Island was also called Battleship Island for its resemblance to Japan’s battleship.
Laborers were forced to work in undersea mines 1,000m below sea level, at over 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
They also suffered from a myriad of abuses and inhumane treatments.

UNESCO was aware of forced labor at these sites.
It requested Japan to prepare an interpretive strategy to inform visitors of the ‘full history’ of the facilities.

However, Japan didn’t keep their promise and instead distorted history.
