The Nanjing Massacre was also an atrocity against Chinese by Japan.

In one example on November 23, the Nanqiantou hamlet near Wuxi was set on fire, with many of its inhabitants locked within the burning houses. Two women, one a 17-year-old girl and the other pregnant, were raped repeatedly until they could not walk. Afterwards, the soldiers rammed a broom into the teenager's vagina and stabbed her with a bayonet, then "cut open the belly of the pregnant woman and gouged out the fetus". A crying two-year-old boy was wrestled from his mother's arms and thrown into the flames, while the hysterically sobbing mother was bayoneted and thrown into a creek. The remaining thirty villagers were bayoneted, disemboweled, and also thrown into the creek.

FWIW, This history is not taught in Japanese Schools.

Speaking of the Nanjing Massacre, thousands of Chinese civilians were saved due to the efforts of Nazi German diplomat John Rabe.

How’s that for an interesting twist?
