REFLECTION As a reader who also didn't know much about the Rape of Nanking, I feel guilty for putting so much attention to the genocide in Germany, but not even knowing about this incident that happened right next to us geographically. Just by reading the introductions, I was able to sense the cruelness of the massacre just by the numbers of the victims and the description. It was unbelievable that it happened within few weeks, and that makes me wonder why no one has written a book about this incident earlier. I felt the needs of spearing this massacre just as known as the genocide so that at least the next generations of the victims receive a proper apology for what happened. While I was reading the packet, it made me to wonder about the incentives of the massacre, because Japanese seemed like they are not acknowledging their fault. They just have to recognized their bad and realize that they did something that would last in their history, as a shame.
