Japan Horrors

The Nanjing Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanjing, occurred during the Second Sino-Japanese War from December 1937 to January 1938, when Japanese troops captured Nanjing, which was then the capital of the Republic of China. During the occupation of the city, Japanese forces committed numerous atrocities against Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants, including mass killings, rapes, looting, and other forms of violence.

Estimates of the death toll vary widely, but it's generally believed that hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians and prisoners of war were killed, and tens of thousands of women were raped. The massacre is considered one of the most brutal episodes of World War II and has left a deep scar in Sino-Japanese relations.

The Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall in Nanjing, China, stands as a testament to the victims and aims to educate visitors about the events that transpired during that dark period of history. Efforts to preserve the memory of the Nanjing Massacre and to seek acknowledgment and apologies from the Japanese government for its wartime atrocities continue to this day.
