December 15, 2020
The Nanjing massacre in which 300,000 Chinese people were killed in a barbarous attack by the imperial Japanese troops is often called the “forgotten holocaust of World War II”.
Remembering the victims of the Nanjing Massacre on its 83
rd anniversary (December 13), Chen Xi, a senior functionary of the Communist Party of China, called it “an inhuman act in human history”. This year China marked the massacre’s seventh national memorial ceremony, which was announced in 2014.
The Nanjing massacre has also been described as one of the most barbaric episodes in the history of World War II although it officially began on September 1, 1939.
