TOKYO, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) Japanese civil groups held a rally here on Sunday to mark the 83rd anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre to mourn the victims and expose the brutal crimes of the Japanese invaders, calling on people to remember history and create a peaceful and friendly future.
As Japan is seeing record-high numbers of COVID-19 infections recently, the organizers asked participants to register in advance and leave contact information. More than 50 participants from across the country had their temperatures checked before entering the venue.
The Nanjing Massacre took place after the Japanese troops captured the city on Dec. 13, 1937. Over six weeks, they killed about 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers in one of the most barbaric episodes of World War II.
