... The Nanjing Massacre in History and Historiography. ... Fogel, a professor of History at the University of California attempted in his book to recount the Nanjing Massacre. The Nanjing Massacre occurred in Nanjing China in 1937 where Japanese soilders killed 300,000 Chinese. Fogel’s brings together Chineses and Japanese historiography on the events of the Nanjing Massacre. ... Fogel’s third and last essay is Daqing Yang’s historiography of Nanjing debates which Yang compares those to similar debates over the Holocaust.
Eykholt states: “Still in the year 2000 the Chinese continue to view Japan’s action (Nanjing Massacre) as an unprovoked and unconscionable attempt to exterminate the Chinese spirit.” Eykholt points out that during the International Prosecution Section of the Tokyo trial after World War II only 28 of 250 high ranking Japanese were prosecuted and of those only two were connected to the Nanjing Massacre. ... Eykholt blames MacArthur for not bringing Japanese responsible for the massacre to trial because of these quick trials.
