NanJing Massacre Museum

We visited one of 13 sites where the group massacres during the
NanJing Massacre took place; this is the Museum of the Massacre. Very
sad! This took place in Dec 1937 - Jan 1838. 300,000 Chinese lost
their lives by Japanese attack. We hope never to see such an atrocity
repeated. The picture is a statue of one of the survivors; I was able
to see this actual person when I visited in 2005. Our guide seemed
very grateful for the help the Americans gave at this time setting up
Safety Zones. He also said it is important to not hate the Japanese
but instead to work for peace. When I hear this I think we may achieve
world peace.
