It is interesting to note that, when we speak of WWII, images of Nazi concentration camps spring to mind, and very few people are aware of what happened on the opposite side of the globe at that time.

The atrocities committed by the Japanese leading up to and during that period are almost forgotten, and often glanced over. The history of the taking of Singapore, the Bataan Death March, the Bataan Railway, and of course the near extermination of the city on Nanking should never be forgotten, if only out of respect for the suffering of those involved.

For a real eye opener to do an Internet search on "the rape of Nanking". After that you will probably agree that It is a real shame that the Japanese were never prosecuted to the same extent as the Nazis, as I feel that in many instances their levels of cruelty and barbarism far eclipsed that of the Germans.
