	Japanese denial of Nanjing Massacre=20 deplorable

	Published: January 25, = 2000 Source:=20 The China Post

	t is deplorable and outrageous that a group of = Japanese=20 rightists held a conference in Osaka on Sunday questioning = the 1937=20 Nanjing Massacre which they called "the biggest lie of the = 20th=20 century." To deny the atrocities committed by = Japan's=20 imperial army after the fall of the city is an act of = cowardice. It=20 reflects Japan's lack of courage to face history. There are = still=20 many living witnesses to the massacre, in which more than = 300,000=20 Chinese people, including women and children, were = slaughtered,=20 raped and maimed by rampaging Japanese soldiers. No = wonder=20 the Chinese people are indignant. Most Japanese regret that = such a=20 conference was allowed to take place at all. "The people = claiming=20 there was no Nanjing Massacre, including the organizers of = this=20 conference, are the people who would maintain that Japan's = war in=20 mainland China was legitimate, that it was not an invasion," = said=20 Tokushi Kasahara, a professor of Chinese modern history at = Tsuru=20 University in Tokyo." All wars are tragic, as they = bring=20 untold suffering to the people. Nazi Germany committed = genocide=20 against the Jews during World War II, but the Germans did = not deny=20 the existence of the Holocaust. In contrast, many Japanese = are still=20 reluctant to face the history of the last World War and are = trying=20 to whitewash the crimes against humanity. The Japanese = government,=20 for instance, has refused to admit the existence of not only = the=20 Nanjing Massacre, but also the hundreds of Korean and = Chinese=20 comfort women forced to serve as sex slaves for Japanese = soldiers.=20 Denials of past atrocities by Japanese rightists as = well as=20 by certain Japanese government officials attest to the fact = that=20 Japan as a whole is unwilling to face its past and repent=20 wrongdoing. For years, the Japanese government has tried to = avoid=20 telling Japanese students the truth about its invasion of = mainland=20 China and of other parts of Asia during World War II, and = textbooks=20 fail to mention that dishonorable portion of their history.=20 But efforts to disguise such horrible crimes do not = and will=20 not change the undeniable historical data. Such facts are = well=20 recorded and documented, and are part of contemporary = history.=20 Fortunately, there are still many conscientious and honest = Japanese=20 people, including well-known historians, who have come = forward to=20 refute the absurd views held by a handful of narrow-minded,=20 extremist nationalists who are trying to negate history. = Such=20 efforts will prove futile because the annals of history tell = no=20 lies. To say that Nanjing Massacre was a "big lie" is in = fact "the=20 biggest lie of the 20th century."
