You won't believe it, I know a lot about that massacre by the Japanese. I bought a very good book on the subject, a chinese woman wrote it. It was very rought in the thirties.: The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotte Holocaust World War II by Iris Chang.
A very nice picture and we have to remember to don't let such event happen again. V

That was really a tragedy and everybody should once visit such a remembrance site to not forget those horrid times mankind went through in the 1937/39-1945. Great angle you did photograph it, so it even reflects the houses. V
