Japan's wartime atrocities: The Thailand-Burma 'Death Railway'

"There were so many deaths. I was so scared," said Thongphrom Thayang when he last spoke to CGTN about building the Thailand-Burma Railway during World War II. From 1942 to 1943, tens of thousands of Asian laborers and Allied prisoners of war were forced by Imperial Japanese forces to build a 415-kilometer railway in the jungles. It was infamously known as the "Death Railway." The conditions of the work camps are remembered by survivors as some of the worst in modern history.
