Settled This Week: Mitsubishi’s WWII Slave Labor Case

Today’s news brings a fresh awareness of the horrors of war, as Mitsubishi Materials Corp. has formally settled claims by its Chinese slave workers. Former slaves— among more than 1,000 survivors from 39,000 war-slaves— report that the company has “sincerely” apologized. The Chinese victims also said that “no amount of money can make up for the loss of life and our trampled dignity.” They said they would continue seeking redress from the Japanese government. Thank you, Wall Street Journal, for today’s important story and this photo of a son honoring his father's memory.
