During Second Sino-Japanese War, mass murder and mass rape by Japanese troops against the residents of Nanjing. Over a period of six weeks over 300,000 innocent citizens were killed. The diaries of John Reba on one hand showed the life’s he saved but on the other it also showed the awful and brutal reality that was happening. “It is not until we tour the city that we learn the extent of the destruction. We come across corpses every 100 and 200 yards. The bodies of civilians that I examined had bullet holes in their back. These people had presumably been fleeing and were shot from behind.”
