Em Nanquim, na China, um homem observa um painel com informações sobre as vítimas chinesas, no memorial do Massacre de Nanquim, perpetrado por forças invasoras japonesas.
O massacre da população da cidade chinesa de Nanquim foi uma das maiores atrocidades dos tempos modernos.Entre dezembro de 1937 e Março de 1938, tropas japonesas tomaram a cidade chinesa de Nanquim e deram início a uma série de assassinatos, estrupros e roubos.
Com base em estimativas de historiadores e organizações beneficentes da cidade àquela época entre 250.000 e 300.000 pessoas foram mortas, muitas delas mulheres e crianças.
Os detalhes dessa história são sórdidos demais, mas é útil saber, em linhas gerais, que há nas páginas mais sombrias da história da humanidade vários outros holocaustos além do perpetrado contra o povo judeu.

The details of this story are much too sordid, but it's important to know, generally, that there are other holocaust episodes on the most somber pages of the history of mankind besides the one perpetrated against the Jewish people.
