During the Second World War, Japanese soldiers carried out human experiments on the Chinese and Koreans on different parts of the conquered lands. One of the most infamous troops carrying out such kind of experiments was Unit 731.
Unit 731 built a camp in the suburb of Harbin, which was located in Northern China. The site was recently turned into a museum and shows visitors that human experimentation was not solely limited to the Jews and Slavs during the Holocaust.
Among the different forms of human experimentations were:
- Testing the results and force needed for explosive decompression by putting prisoners into an airless room
- Fixing prisoners to a wooden bed, with their heads submerged in water
- Experiments involving the germination of bacteria on human bodies
- Submerging prisoners' hands into extremely hot or cold water, to see whether healing is more likely after scalding or freezing
