Cruel life of miners under Japanese subjugation

A photo taken on April 23, 2014 shows rows of skeletons uncovered in a burial site for miners in Liaoyuan, Northwest China's Jilin province. About 100,000 workers forced into slave labor by the occupying Japanese died from 1931-1945. Japanese troops committed numerous war crimes during those 14 years, including exploitation, maltreatment and execution of the workers. The average age of death for the miners was 30.5.
