World War 1 was the most violent war to have taken place up to this time. It started in 1914 and finished in 1918. In this war, nearly 39 million people died, got injured and lost. World’s many countries, from New Zealand to the USA, were involved in this war. 21 years after the end of this war started another war. It was called World War 2. Many countries from all over the world again were included in this war. In this war, between nearly 50 and 70 million people lost their lives. The world witnessed many cruel things in this war. However, two of them are so extreme that one cannot believe that they were performed by HUMAN. They are unit 731 and the Holocaust. Unit 731 was a unit founded by Japanese commander Shirio Ishii in 1935. It is claimed that nearly 250,000 people were killed there by being used in cruel experiments. It is claimed that experiments like “how long can a man stay in cold water, what is there in people’s internal organs, at how much distance of a bomb can a man survive” were conducted there. People were claimed to be boiled in hot water, cut alive and injected blood. These are some experiments done and many more cruelties took place there. The other big cruelty, the Holocaust, claimed nearly 6 million people’s lives. The people killed there were mostly Jewish. It is claimed that people were killed in gas chambers, by being shot and in starvation. Josef Mengele, a German doctor, did many experiments on Jewish people there. Josef Mengele is claimed to cut people alive, inject colors to people’s eyes, conduct experiments on twins and try to create a pure German race. After the war, he escaped to South America. It is said that in the villages Mengele lived, there was an increase in the rate of twin birth and blue eyed people. These infamies were two of the cruelest things of human history. Today, one cannot even look at the photographs of the situations they caused. Actually, it is not surprising that such things happened in the world’s cruelest war. We hope no such things happen ever.
