[These Japanese liers!]--"To this day the Japanese government has refused to apologize for these and other World War II atrocities, and a large swath of Japanese society denies they took place at all. But unlike Holocaust denials, the revisionism of the Rape of Nanjing has been largely successful in Japan, where many believe it never happened.

Twenty-eight men did go on trial in Tokyo by an international criminal court for the Nanjing Massacre and other crimes. And during the trial, it became clear that Tokyo had known about the atrocities and ignored them. Of the twenty-eight, twenty-five were found guilty on one or more charges. All were sentenced in 1948 either to death by hanging or life imprisonment, but by 1956 every one of them had been paroled.

Decades after the massacre, Japan began to deny and distort the history of Nanjing. A revisionist perspective of the incident began to emerge through books and columns coming out in Japan, denying it had ever taken place. Ikuhiko Hata's ``Nanjing Incident’’ is considered by the Japanese Ministry of Education to be the definitive historical text on the subject. This book puts the official death count at between 38,000 and 42,000.

In the 1990s, some top officials in the Japanese government claimed that the massacre was fabricated. Worse still, efforts by some conscientious officials have consistently been thwarted. And official apologies or compensation have not been forthcoming.

Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara said in a 1990 interview: ``People say that the Japanese made a holocaust but that is not true. It is a story made up by the Chinese. It has tarnished the image of Japan, but it is a lie.’’ He has been the political leader of Japan’s most important city since 1999 and could realistically become Japan’s next prime minister."
