The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare wants to start a survey based on this document and identify the 15,000 deaths that have not yet been confirmed.
Documents about the Japanese who died while in Siberia were held at the National Archives of Military Archives in Moscow, and the Russian side provided documents based on an agreement signed with the Japanese side in 1991.
This time around 400 new materials were found, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare began an investigation based on these materials on the 6th.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, 15,000 out of 53,000 people who were thought to have died during the detention of Siberia have not yet been confirmed in Russian documents. I want to find out the name of and identify the death.
Regarding the Siberian detainees, a problem has been discovered that the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has left behind in the wake of grasping the suspicion of mistaking the remains.
The assistant director of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's Research and Information Division, Research Materials Office, who is responsible for the investigation, said that this survey was a project different from the collection of remains, As I am aging, I would like to work with the Russian side to advance the survey so that I can communicate information to the bereaved as soon as possible.
