It was once an island that was erased from the map!
It was once called “the island that was erased from the map” because of its poison gas factories.
Even today, the site of the former poison gas factory still remains.
There is also a poison gas museum on the island.
It is said that many people were killed during the production of poison gas.
The Poison Gas Museum is a place where materials related to poison gas are exhibited in order to convey the tragedy of the war to many people and to prevent the war from ever repeating itself.
