SDHF Newsletter No.69 Nanking Massacre

There was a Battle of Nanking but There was no “Nanking Massacre”
by Campaign for the Truth of Nanking
June 10, 2014

In February, 2012, Nagoya city Mayor Kawamura Takashi stated that he personally believes that there was a battle fought between Japan and China but the so called “Nanking Incident” never took place, referring to the historical view, which is regarded as a thorn that prevents a normal relationship between the two countries, during a friendship exchange with visiting Chinese Communist Party leaders from the City of Nanking, the sister city of Nagoya. Mayor Kawamura also expressed his sincere hope for having mutual discussion over this issue.
However, the City of Nanking responded to Mayor Kawamura’s suggestion by announcing the discontinuation of the sister-city exchange program with Nagoya. Furthermore, the Chinese Communist Party hinted at taking retaliatory measures, saying that “Japan is sure to pay for it” in The People’s Daily.
In order to support Mayor Kawamura’s statement, a body called “People’s Campaign for the Truth of Nanking” was established by those who share the same concern as Mayor Kawamura. It developed strong campaigns including paid advertisement in news papers, public lectures, panel exhibitions, circulating bills. It also made a thorough study on the Nanking Incident collecting up-to-date research results and compiled them into a book titled There was a Battle of Nanking but there was no “Nanking Massacre”.
We are convinced if you read through the book you will realize that the so called “Nanking Massacre” is only a matter of propaganda, not a matter of fact. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
