Mémorial de Caen museum of Normandy, France, tells the story of Nanjing massacre in its permanent exhibition room “The Second World War: Genocide and Mass Violence“. According to the museum’s web guide, “a large part of this sequence is devoted to the violence of the Japanese army, in particular during the taking of Nanking (now Nanjing) in 1937 (an early example of mass violence). The taking of the city gave rise to a horrendous slaughter: shootings, decapitations, drownings, executions by sword and firearm, innumerable rapes…”
