what happened in Nanking and what happened in Auschwitz are so radically different I do not think it is appropriate to label them with the same name.
But I do think this atrocity (and I think many people know that more Chinese civilians were murdered by Japanese forces than Jews were murdered by the Nazi's) does not have the place in history, certainly the western view of history, that it should have.
I wonder if Chinese refer to the "Final Solution" as the forgotten Nanking, or something of this kind? I guess they dont - and thats the issue.
