Photo, Caption, and Citation #2




This is photo shows a painting of the horrors of the Nanking Massacre. To give a little back story, the Nanking Massacre was the Japanese invasion of a Chinese city known as Nanking. In the six weeks the Imperial Japanese Army had occupation of Nanking, over 300,000 people were killed--over 20,000 women were raped. Even after the Nanking Massacre (otherwise known as the "The Rape of Nanking,") the Japanese denied it even ever happened. 300,000 people's lives were taken away, 20,000 women were raped, and thousands among thousands of families would never be the same again. Even after all that, the Japanese government still had the gull and the audacity to deny its claim on all of the innocent people's lives. But do you know what the worst part is? Most people have never heard of this.
