You can find me on booktube here.
This is the horrifying story of the Japanese massacre of Nanjing. It also talks about how this massacre has been allowed to almost disappear from history. To me, the fact that this is ignored in history class is in itself s tragedy. It's like if we also didn't teach about concentration camps or the atomic bombs. I can't think of another event in human history that is as cruel as the rape of Nanjing.
