Nanjing Massacre

(To comment, enter here)

It proves again and again that Japanese never learn. Their government had fooled the nation for almost 60 years without telling them the real truth. Japanese may still think that they are the real victims of the war and they still dream that they could have conquered the world if without the U.S. atomic bombing.

What difference will it make that Japanese had killed 30,000 or 300,000 Chinese in Nanjing? The fact that Japan invaded China is undeniable. Japanese cruelty and cold blood is well known with no need for further proven.

Even the Japanese Foreign Minister, Hirota Koki, reported after an inspection trip in January of 1938 that the "Japanese Army behaved . . . in [a] fashion reminiscent [of] Attila [and] his Huns. [Not] less than three hundred thousand Chinese civilians slaughtered, many cases [in] cold blood."

'The Rape of Nanking.'

Sunnyvale-based author Iris Chang gives voice to a new era of Chinese activism--much of it based in Silicon Valley--which may force Japan to confront its World War II atrocities, still largely unknown to the world a half-century later

"Factories of Death: Japanese Biological Warfare 1932-45 and the American Cover-up"

By Sheldon Harris, professor emeritus of history at California State University

- The enormous scale of Japan's top-secret biological warfare (BW) effort and of the atrocities committed in the process.

- Conservatively calculated, 10,000 to 12,000 human beings were exterminated in lab experiments.

- In addition, BW "field tests were carried out all over China and Manchuria," in which "a quarter of a million innocent people were wiped out

- This was a massive undertaking by the entire Japanese scientific community of the time

- "The U.S. government is as culpable for inaction as Japan, and the Canadian, British, Dutch and Australian governments knew about it ... While the US "bears a major responsibility" for the cover-up of Unit 731, the greater responsibility lies with Japanese."

The Japanese occupation of Nanking, the capital of the Republic of China, lead to one of the greatest horrors of the century. This eyewitness report was filed by a New York Times reporter.
