Years ago, wife and I toured the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
On the Navy launch taking us out to the shrine were a dozen or more Japanese kids in their teens.
I asked one why they were on the tour. A young woman responded saying “We wanted to see what our fathers and grandfathers had done. The war is not taught much in Japan...”
When I began visiting Japan in the late 80's, the #1 best selling book was a rewrite of WWII ending in a glorious Japanese victory. Most Japanese have no grasp of what happened in China, Korea, the Philippines or in any of the prisoner of war camps. I found it all shocking.
