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.
Pictures of working miners can be seen at the Miner's Memorial Hall in Liaoyuan, Northwest China's Jilin province. Workers had to work for more than 12 hours a day and didn’t have access to medical treatment.
