Presentation transcript:

The Rape of Nanking occurred from Dec 1937 until Feb 1938 During this massacre the Japanese army killed upwards of 350,000 civilians Furthermore, they raped upwards of 80,000 women Girls as young as 7 and women as old as 70 were raped Females were gang-raped, chained to walls, floors, etc so they could be raped time and again, raped to death, etc The Japanese forced fathers to rape daughters, sons to rape mothers, Buddhist monks to rape women, etc. Officers practiced their swordsmanship on Chinese prisoners. Some soldiers Beheaded so many people that their arms became tired and they had to stop

To this day the country of Japan continues to deny that the Rape of Nanking ever took place. In fact Japan also denies that any atrocities took place. The Rape of Nanking is part of the larger atrocity known as the Asian or Forgotten Holocaust During the Asian Holocaust the Japanese killed a minimum of 10,000,000 Chinese!
