Tomorrow, December 13, marks 88 years since the Nanjing Massacre, when invading Japanese troops unleashed unimaginable horrors on Nanjing, a city in Jiangsu province in the Chinese mainland. As the official Memorial Day approaches, it's a moment for all of us to pause, reflect, and connect with history. 🕯️
From the Jilin Provincial Archives in the Chinese mainland to the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, mountains of evidence stand firm. These sites, and the stories they hold, remind us why we say #NeverForget. 💡
Remembering isn't just about the past. It's about standing up against hatred, violence, and injustice—issues that still matter today. For us in South and Southeast Asia, it's a powerful reminder to protect human dignity everywhere. 🌏
- Visit virtual tours: many museums offer 360° experiences online. 🏛️
- Share survivor stories: post a video or thread on TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter with #NeverForget. 📲
- Learn and discuss: host a Zoom talk or join a local history group to keep the conversation alive. 💬
On this solemn anniversary, let's honor the memories, learn the lessons, and pledge to build a future free from such tragedies. We owe it to the victims—and to ourselves—to keep history alive. 🙏
