Desislava’s Reviews > The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II > Status Update

"Apparently some quirk in human nature allows even the most unspeakable acts of evil to become banal within minutes, provided only that they occur far enough away to pose no personal threat."

"The Rape of Nanking should be perceived as a cautionary tale - an illustration of how easily human beings can be encouraged to allow their teenagers to be molded i to efficient killing machines able to suppress their better natures."

"The only consolation is that it can't be worse. They can't kill as many people as there aren't any more to kill."

this is just heartbreaking
