"Collection of Historical Materials on the Nanjing Massacre" is a large-scale academic project. The collection, arrangement of historical materials, and the translation, editing and publication of English, Japanese, German, Italian, Russian and other documents are very complex and arduous tasks, so they can only be published in batches. It is unavoidable to arrange the publication of similar historical materials in different volumes. We apologize for this.
We hope that this collection of historical materials can provide as much historical information as possible with rich and comprehensive content to the vast number of historical researchers and readers at home and abroad. However, due to the wide range of sources of materials, including personal experiences and witnessing materials of the perpetrators, victims, and third parties, as well as reminiscence materials, various archival materials, newspaper materials, etc., It is not surprising that there are inconsistencies in the description of the Nanjing Massacre, and even due to the narrator's position, observation angle, or cognitive limitations, there are contradictions in the description, and there are also some wrong or incorrect views. It is impossible for the voices to be completely unanimous about such a tragedy that shocked the world. Preserve the original appearance of historical materials. It is the professional ethics and academic norms that historians should have.
Therefore, we collect the historical materials as they are without any changes and provide them to historical researchers for them to examine and analyze when using them to draw scientific conclusions that are consistent with historical facts.
Reader comments
This book reminded me of my grandfather, who once told me similar stories. The oral accounts of these survivors gave me a deeper understanding of that period of history. The detailed descriptions in the book made me feel like I was actually there, and I could feel the fear and helplessness of the people at that time. I think such books are very meaningful. They allow us to remember history and cherish our peaceful life now. At the same time, it also reminds me of Zhang Chunru's "Nanjing Massacre". They are both true records of the Nanjing Massacre and are worth reading.
This book has 1.5 Million collections, but only one comment. I suddenly felt very sad.
Every word is very heavy. It is difficult for me to express my thoughts after reading it. It is very difficult.
This is an unforgettable national history. We must not forget the history of national humiliation.
