Nanjing Memorial

     These are pictures from the Nanjing Memorial. I will warn you they are graphic. It depicts what happened when Japan invaded Nanjing China. At least 300,000 people were killed, many brutally raped. This was the first place I visited in China last summer. You may have seen them on Facebook but here they are if you have not. Some I captioned to explain more about the picture.

This picture and the next few are statues and sayings describing the attack.









Big cross with the dates of the attack.



300,000 in different languages.
