That will be the day. I worked with Japanese people for several years. The only thing that they knew about World War II was that Japanese civilians were killed by Americans. I always wanted to ask them “What did your grandfather do in the war?”, but I was too polite to ask.
I was in Japan when they started telling them about the whole war. It seems like they started their history of the war sometime in 1942. They completely left out the Pearl Harbor attack.
