The
Nanking Massacre or
Nanjing Massacre, also known as the
Rape of Nanking, was a
mass murder and
war rape that occurred during the six-week period following the Japanese
capture of the city of
Nanking (Nanjing), the former capital of the
Republic of China, on December 13, 1937 during the
Second Sino-Japanese War. During this period, hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians and disarmed soldiers were murdered by soldiers of the
Imperial Japanese Army.
[1][2] Widespread rape and looting also occurred.
[3][4] Historians and witnesses have estimated that 250,000 to 300,000 people were killed.
[5] Several of the key perpetrators of the atrocities, at the time labelled as
war crimes, were later tried and found guilty at the
Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal, and were subsequently executed.
It was a sombering experience to say the least.

We ate most of our meals at the hotel in this private room, the table seated about 15 of us. The food was very artistically presented. It was also delicious. The jenga looking food was actually tofu.
