> A 1939 news collection published by two Japanese news agencies contains a firsthand account of mass killings of defeated Chinese soldiers during the Nanjing Massacre. The collection, along with letters, postcards and French diplomatic documents on Japan’s atrocities in Nanjing, was donated to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders after being gathered by young people from China and abroad.
