@UndertakerRach I would like say that most Japanese students finish high school convinced that Japan invaded China because of self defense, the rape of Nanking never happened, and everything china says is propaganda. I grew up in the west, I know the truth, and I have conscience. YOU DON'T! So stop posting evil, ignorant comments before you get murdered!

[xkd1995]

@UndertakerRach YOU should be ASHAMED of yourself! You are now repeating the crimes that the Japanese committed 70 years ago. You post comments on every single video about Nanking, denying all atrocities your nation had committed. You are distorting history, you are disparaging the souls of those victims, and you are challenging the nature and conscience of the humankind! Any single question about the number of deaths in the Nanking massacre would be an insult to the Chinese nation, because thi

China has been telling fake stories for thousands of years.

My late father was a filipino soldier under the USAFFE in the Philippines during WWII. The fact of the atrocities committed by the Japanese Imperial Army and its soldiers in the countries they occupied is beyond question. My father was a witness of some atrocities to civilians in the Philippines. The japanese people must acknowledge the shamefule part of their history.

@undertakerrach02 She was depressed NOT because of this book but after a long while researching for her next book called The Bayonet March. It all finally took over her sanity and all the horror of it was just too much for one person to take all alone. This particular book was her awakening but in a way she became so engrossed in exposing the atrocities that she neglected herself and could no longer cope.

(Part2)It has been pointed out that what she wrote and the photos in her book were not related to the so-called Nanking Massacre. She shot herself by pistol and died in 2004. The London Economist magazine commented that she had committed suicide perhaps because her book was much criticized and she was deeply depressed about it.

■(Part1)Recently, a Chinese American named Iris Chang wrote a book entitled, The Rape of Nanking. It tells about the brutal massacre by the Japanese in Nanking. It became a bestseller in the USA and other countries, and spread the lie of the Nanking Massacre. Later, Chang’s book was much criticized by many other authors.
