When hearing about the Rape of Nanking, it was very disturbing as to how the Chinese were treated. This picture is not an exaggeration of what happened during the Rape of Nanking. As seen in the picture, the mother is holding her baby close to her. Although the baby is really small, it did not mean anything to the Japanese. Children suffered bayonet stabbings, and by far i believe that women had it the worst. The Japanese would rape women, not matter what age, "Two of them were forced to satisfy 15 to 20 men and the prettiest one as many as 40 each night." It is hard to believe that the Japanese had such sick minds and just to think of all the diseases the women carried is probably the most disturbing. It made me cringe when I read that sticks and cans would be forced into a women's vaginal area, I can't even fathom how much these women suffered. It was also very disturbing to think that they would rape women anywhere from a child to a 80 year old women. To think that people were mutilated and buried alive is another thing that I can't believe the Japanese Soldiers did. Did they not have a heart? They had to have a sick mind because even if someone is ordered to do those duties no one in their right mind would not feel guilty. If they were ordered to do it, but didn't want to because they felt bad, they would have had "killing contests" to see how many people they could kill. In the end, all of this is very disturbing and I can't event image how much the Chinese suffered.
