Nanjing Massacre (1937–38)
On the Chinese Revolution map as “Nanjing”
13 Dec 1937–Jan 1938 — The capital falls, and for weeks the Japanese army murders prisoners and civilians and rapes on a mass scale: the tribunal counted over 200,000 dead, Chinese memory holds 300,000, and the range is argued to this day. What is not argued is what happened. This atlas marks it as memory, and asks nothing else of it.
