🔍 Historian David Wright from the University of Calgary warns: the Nanjing Massacre is a well-documented WWII atrocity that must never be twisted or denied. In a recent interview, Wright—also a fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute—emphasized how this tragic chapter, marked by mass violence in 1937-38, is recognized by scholars across the world.
For young history buffs and professionals alike, this is more than a date in a textbook. It's a stark reminder that truth matters. Wright points out:
- Distorting these facts dishonors the memory of the victims.
- Accurate historical records help us learn and prevent future horrors.
From lecture halls in Canada to research centers in the Chinese mainland and beyond, experts agree: acknowledging the full scope of the Nanjing Massacre honors those who suffered and strengthens our commitment to human rights.
Staying curious and critical is key. Dive into credible sources, ask tough questions, and share verified stories. Let's keep history honest—because understanding the past shapes a better future. 🌏✨
