The Rape of Nanking

When most Americans think about Germany, they think of manufacturing sports cars, Saworkraut, Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust for the highway. Compared with Germany, where most Americans think of Japan, they think of sushi, Godzilla movies, Pearl Harbor Japan attacks and atomic bombings to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. World War II was such a big event in history, after the end in nearly 70 years, the young generation of today is often linked to the control of the state and the state war It is a front axle.

Perhaps the most obvious example during World War II is rape of Nanjing, which was done by a Japanese soldier victorious against Chinese people in Nanjing. The Nanking Massacre (also known as the Nanjing Massacre) includes not only the horrible rape of thousands of Chinese women and girls, but also the massacres of thousands of Chinese men, women and children . There was no real reason or regret, and the rampage in the city. The Japanese army's treatment of prisoners of war and many conquered people is another factor of the various atrocities committed by them.

In the case that was memorized as "Nanjing Massacre" in 1937, the Japanese army conducted massacres of unprecedented Chinese citizens. It is estimated that thousands of Chinese were murdered, tortured and raped as the Japanese army abandoned garbage in the city. Except for a few Western missionaries, everyone fled Nanjing and John Rabe. Rabe is a German businessman who left the Nanjing Security Zone to protect and protect refugees. Rabe opened his wealth as a refuge for the Chinese and all foreign embassies and Nanjing University.

It is estimated that Rabe saved the lives of 200,000 to 250,000 Chinese refugees.

Shiro refers to the massacre of Nanking and it was a six-week siege battle by Japanese imperial army in Nanjing, the capital of China, in 1937. The siege battle, also known as rape in Nanjing, is part of the Second Sino-Japan War and is due to a number of Japanese atrocities, including killing contests, collective rape and sexual violence, torture, robbery and looting It was characterized. Destroy property. Between China and Japan, the scale of the atrocities that occurred during the Nanking Massacre was controversial. Japan admitted that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had damaged the lives and liberties of the inhabitants of Nanjing but claimed he was hesitant to estimate the number of victims. Large-scale rape does not explicitly state that it is the name of sin against humanity that has been used for a long time by its power during its siege, but simply as a case of Japanese violation the murder of noncombatants and robbers I point out.
