To mark the 79th anniversary of the end of war in Japan, two leading authors will discuss their research about Unit 731, the Japanese Army’s secret biological warfare program.

Australian writer Christine Piper won the Vogel’s Literary Award for her novel After Darkness, about a doctor who worked in a secret research lab linked to Unit 731.
Kawamura Kazuyuki, a former Shinjuku Ward councillor, has tackled the human bones issue for decades and written a book about events leading to the founding of Unit 731.
Together, they will talk about their research into the Japanese Army's secret biological warfare program (a.k.a. Unit 731), and the efforts to bring recognition to the victims.
