Japanese Mass Graves Found on Iwo Jima

From the October 21, 2010 Toronto Star.

Two mass graves have been found on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima, site of a major World War II battle in 1945.

Japanese searchers discovered 51 remains in two areas listed on American maps from the war as being enemy cemeteries. One of these might contain as many as 2,000.

Almost all of the 22,000 Japanese soldiers on the island in the battle died.

The Japanese call it Iwoto Island.
