The Rape of Nanking: So I am not really sure how I even heard about this book, but I am glad I read it. It is about the forgotten holocaust of WWII, when the Japanese army invaded the city of Nanking in China and literally killed HALF the population in horrible deaths. It was a real eye-opener for me. I have a hard time imagining people being so cruel to other human-beings and yet, it happens more often than we realize. The sad part about this atrocity is that the Japanese country has never admitted or apologized for these wrongdoings. So the victims are victimized again because their struggles were just forgotten. If you have a tough stomach and an open heart, it is worth a read...if not just to have our eyes opened to a part of history I knew NOTHING about before this book.
