Rosenbaum Chapter 10

In Kinue Tokudome's essay entitled, "The Holocaust and Japanese Atrocities," Tokudome presents the reader with the reactions of two doctors that both were involved in human experimentation during World War II. Dr. Yuasa, a Japanese doctor, was working for the Japanese Imperial Army in China and was involved in the deaths of humans during the Rape of Nanking. As he watches a documentary about a German doctor, Dr. Munch, who had been accused of the same crimes as he, there is a great contrast in the emotion that each felt for what they had done. Dr. Munch showed absolutely no remorse when confronted about his actions in Auschwitz, while Dr Yuasa had shown deep remorse for his. This essays shows not only the individual experience and emotions behind two extremely horrific events, but it also shows the mentality of the individuals involved in them.
