◆Takashi Hayasaka, "Stories of War That Textbooks Don't Teach"

We present a special commemoration of the end of the war: "Sugamo Prison Today - Walking Through the Town Where Class A War Criminals Bereaved." It's the summer of the 81st year since the end of the war. Sugamo Prison, where "Class A war criminals" were once imprisoned and executed, is now the site of Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, a bustling area popular with young people. This time, with non-fiction writer Takashi Hayasaka as our coordinator, we walked from the Ikebukuro entertainment district to the memorial monument in Higashi-Ikebukuro Central Park, tracing the memories of Sugamo Prison. On December 23, 1948, the death sentences of seven "Class A war criminals" were carried out at this site. What really happened on that day? And who exactly was Hideki Tojo? This book explores the truth and falsehoods of the post-war image of Tojo, the truth behind his attempted suicide, his arguments at the Tokyo Trials, the mystery of the wine he drank last, the post-war lives of his descendants, and even the interactions between his great-grandson, Hidetoshi, and President Truman's grandson. Walking through the history hidden beneath the bustling city streets, we contemplate the nature of war and the question of war responsibility.

あれだけ有名な巣鴨プリズン跡がなぜひっそりとしているのか、ずっと不思議でした。
動画中にあった碑についても恥ずかしながら気づきませんでした。
戦後81年。現在の政治家たちの平和感に不安を感じます。当時の指導者たちはなぜ戦争に導き、なぜ敗戦し、その結果どう裁かれたのか。責任はだれが取るべきだったのか。
未来に同じことは繰り返されないのか。
この動画を見て、平和についてもっと勉強したいと強く感じました。貴重な動画をありがとうございました。
・桃栗三年 昭和３年６月４日の張作霖爆殺事件
・柿八年 昭和８年３月２７日の国際連盟脱退
・柚は九年で成り下がる 昭和９年３月１日の満州国の帝政施行
・梨のバカめが十八年 足かけ１８年の旧陸軍と政府の政策が何らの実を結ばず、国民に犠牲を強いたことの皮肉
です。
これは、関川秀雄監督１９５３年の映画「ひろしま」の中で流れる「お山の杉の子」のオマージュです。
意図的に隠しているかもしれませんが、広く知られていないことが残念でなりません。
なお、「お山の杉の子」の歌詞にある「杉山」というのは、日中戦争開戦当時は陸軍大臣、日米戦争開戦当時は陸軍参謀総長だった「杉山元」を暗示するものです。
杉山は、終戦当時は「元帥」という肩書でしたが、関川監督は、杉山が拳銃自殺したこともあって「杉山」という歌詞の部分は映画の中では用いていません。
杉山は、「日中戦争」はわずか１か月で、また、「日米戦争」はたった３か月で収束するだろうとの私見を述べて、そのデタラメ無責任な見解を昭和天皇から厳しく叱責されています。
「バカめ」とはそういう意味です。
ただし、杉山元帥には遺族もいるでしょうから、大林監督は、杉山が昭和天皇から厳しく叱責された歴史的事実を映画のストーリーの中では明らかにしていません。
