TWs for rape, murder, genocide, pedophilia, torture, and every other possible crime.
whenever i read any book or excerpt about the holocaust or the 1971 bangladesh genocide or the sreberenica massacre or the numerous other war crimes, i struggle. this book was no different. iris chang’s account of the rape of nanking is so relentless and powerful, and it was clear, she was fighting some heavy forces immersed in academic revisionism of this time of war, when she wrote this. i was devastated to know she committed suicide but i really hope her soul is resting in peace.
