Photo exhibition on the Nanjing Massacre held in America

A photo exhibition on the Nanjing Massacre is held at the Asian Pacific Affairs Center in New York on Dec 11th, reports the America based China Press.

Several hundreds of history photos recording crimes that Japanese troops committed in the aggressive war to China are exhibited in the exhibition hall. The photos feature extremely inhumane atrocities including insulting and killing of innocent civilians, human germ test, etc .

Documentary films of the Tokyo War Crime Trial and Japanese troops' atrocities will be shown during the exhibition. Books, newspapers and videotapes that are related to the Nanjing Massacre will be on display as well. The precious historic documents obtained from American priest John Magee's descendants will be displayed for the first time.

Chen Xianzhong, head of the federation to commemorate victims of the Nanjing Massacre says the federation has been hosting activities to mark the Massacre every year and collecting historic reference related. In the future it will expand cooperation with the mainstream society of the US to organize exhibitions in schools around America. In this way more westerners will be able to see the atrocities committed by Japanese government in the Second World War.

Chen points out that the Chinese home and abroad should be highly vigilant to the aggressive ambition of the Japanese government, for the Japanese Prime Minister and the government still laud war criminals as heroes. They have distorted history by changing textbooks and making preparations for revival of militarism by sowing dissension betweem China and other countries.

The two-day exhibition will be extended to Dec 13rd upon visitors request.
