For Unit 731 survivor, speaking truth carries cost
A Japanese World War II veteran breaks decades of silence about Japan’s wartime atrocities.
William Gallo/Journalist
I’m a journalist with over 15 years of experience, now serving as Europe/Mideast bureau chief for Stars and Stripes, where I lead a team of reporters across the region.
Before that, I was based in Seoul for seven years, covering East Asia — from U.S. foreign policy and regional diplomacy to North Korea, political unrest, and social change.
I’m open to new work, collaborations, and media interviews. Feel free to reach out.
