Hey history fans! Today, on Dec 5, a fresh batch of historical materials was donated to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders. This comes as 2025 marks the 88th anniversary of the massacre that began on Dec 13, 1937. 🕯️
The new evidence includes archival documents and artifacts that shed light on the experiences of victims and survivors. While many of us are used to scrolling through digital archives, these tangible pieces remind us why preserving physical records still matters. 📝
For young adults across South and Southeast Asia, it’s a powerful reminder of the importance of remembering the past to build a more peaceful future. Whether you’re into history, digital storytelling, or social justice, these materials offer firsthand glimpses into the stories that shaped our world.
The Memorial Hall plans to add these items to its permanent collection and make them accessible for researchers and visitors. As we approach the anniversary on Dec 13, consider exploring the hall’s exhibits—either in person or online—to connect with these vital stories. 📚✈️
