In this episode, Marguerite takes us to post-war Japan, where survival was scarce, resources were thin, and desperation hung heavy in the air. Enter Miyuki Ishikawa—a respected midwife who became one of the most prolific killers in history… all under the guise of “helping.”But was it mercy? Neglect?
