well I am glad someone read my too-long post! Anyways on to your points:
'Tis too true that "I" cannot really compare Dr. Mengele to the -I don't 
know how many Japanese- ;I just don't know enough.  I wish someone would 
of commented on the idea that "we"<in the West> don't care about this 
because of the race/ethnicity of the people invovled. Again, sorry my 
post was that of a raving madman but this sort of discusion will do it 
to me. Also I would say that whatever happened in Manchukuo wasn't so 
"run-of-the-mill" if only because of the length of time it was practiced 
and the severity of it.

ありがとう！！！
