[Homer_J_Simpson]

This must have been a huge event judging by the coverage in The Times. The story dominates the front page as well as page 1 of the sports section and sidebars run through the whole paper. I posted several of these after the main story.

Here's an interesting document from around the same time.

Nanking International Relief Comittee - 20 June 1938

I just ran across this the other day and didn't realize the scope of the attempted relief effort after the rape of Nanking (Dec 1937).
