Japanese teacher seeks truth about Nanjing massacre 

this Japanese teacher is courageous...i applaud her searching for truth.....

One woman braver than all the Japanese soldiers put together

What a courageous and honourable human being.

Respect to this Japanese woman. She is truly leading the right path to world peace.

This woman is setting an example to other japanese, they should learn from her. An honourable woman, she should be praised.

Why can’t Japan be like Germany? They accept, acknowledged their crimes and apologized

What a brave woman... She wants to challenge the whitewashed history textbooks! I applaud her! She took all those threats from ignorant jerks and she still studies! ^^

Only Japan denies that the Nanking massacre occurred. They also assert that only Japan suffered greatly. Thank you Tamaki Matsuoka for trying educate the ignorant and the stubborn.

She's brave, I like Japanese like her.

The problem with ignoring something bad that happened in the past is that you run the risk that whatever caused it will happen again. That's why we should always talk about these kinds of things.

Had the pleasure of meeting her today. Truly is an extremely courageous woman trying to help Japan acknowledge it's eat atrocities and supporting it's victims. God bless her and I hope Japan will educate it's public about it's atrocities like most countries in the world today.

There will not be justice for the dead until Japan accepts this history and apologizes for the war crimes.

Courageous woman with a deep sense of moral justice. I imagine she's had her fair share of death threats.

Such a courageous lady! She has a really honorable heart, she seeks the truth with an open mind,especially in Japan where they have very narrow and nationalist mindset ,she's so brave to defy the Japanese norm and confront her own country's past that literally everyone in Japan tries to ignore.

I agree,a brave woman searching for the truth

She's a great teacher!

endless respect

RESPECT DA ZE, MATSUOKA-SENSEI!

Finally a normal person

Thumbs up for this brave woman

A truly remarkable soul that is unafraid of the truth unlike so many cowardly japanese deniers

I salute her, I hope there are many more Japanese individuals willing to find out the truth

People like these are beacons of hope and refreshing my desire to continue research on this topic even after all the treacherous inhumane bloodshed and fascism I have had exposure to. (Amplified a bit cause I’m also Chinese)

I wish more dogs would follow her example

I can understand why she would rightly fear retaliation from the cowardly Imperial Japanese soldiers who murdered unarmed civilians especially women and children in Nanjing. Those "men" were too spineless to fight an armed male enemy soldier then and would have taken great personal satisfaction in physically attacking a small, unarmed woman 20 or 30 years later just to protect themselves.

Respect, if my grandpa could see this

28 stab wounds I mean 27

Thank you Tamaki Matsuoki for seeking the truth。

As long as you acknowledge the history...no reason to feel "bad," about the actions..should only feel bad that they are covered up. All nations have done such horrible things...the difference is between people acknowledging it or not! Like America and the native Americans /Japanese internment camps. Or how China has treated it's own citizens, and also the atrocities of the "great leap forward," and the "cultural revolution." (Kids literally snitching on their family..getting their own family condemned and killed. Now a days the snitch culture remains...and those that condemned their elders, now want their own kids/grandkids to worship the ground they walk on/be obedient (to be filial) honestly kinda hypocritical...kill your own elders, but expect your own juniors to worship you... African kingdoms that entire economies relied on slavery. Selling off their enemies into slavery for 100s of years. Then we have the ottoman empires atrocities...forcing all into submission. Then the crusades, atrocities by both Christians and muslims. Then we have the catholic vs protestant massacres. This barely scratches the surface of human atrocities. There are two things we have to keep from happening 1) prevent history revisionism, to not downplay every nations horrid actions. And 2) We can not allow modern nations to cherry pick which tragedies that they recognize...just for political means. Like how China recognizes the Nanjing Massacre, but does not acknowledge any of their own atrocious actions... These 2 things are very important! We must acknowledge the past. But that does not mean to feel personal blame....Just should not cover it up.

Remember John H.D Rabe.

Amaterasu shine on you all

Very honest woman.

I have never heard of this in Japan

Very good hearted Japanese teacher💓

War is ugly. No one is clean.

Torturing killing raping extc. To unarmed civilians as a soldier is not a just war crime it It's despicable and Cowardly move and allways will be

I dont see the point of denying it, ok it happened, its not your fault, japan has moved on from being a power hungry empire, learning about your own history should not be oppressed

My highest respect and admiration to this lady & her courage to go against the establishment on the subject.

Operation Ichi-Go is an operation conducted by the Japanese Army on the Chinese mainland from April 17th to December 10th, 1944 during the Sino-Japanese War. It was the last major offensive of the Japanese Army, which caused the National Revolutionary Army to be hit hard and affected during the Chinese Civil War. However, on the other hand, the United States is also mediating the conclusion of the Double Tenth Agreement with Chiang Kai-shek in order to avoid a civil war. According to a study by Barbara W. Tuchman, the results of this operation had a more significant impact on the subsequent war situation than the Japanese had imagined, and had a decisive impact on Japan's fate. According to it, Franklin Roosevelt has consistently strongly trusted and supported Chiang Kai-shek since the beginning of the war, and encouraged him in the war against Japan so that he would not drop out of the Allies in a single peace with Japan during the Cairo Conference. However, he said that he changed his mind because the front of Chiang Kai-shek collapsed due to this operation. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek has not been invited to important Allied conferences ("Yalta Conference" and "Potsdam Conference") since then. According to the Stilwell document, Roosevelt said, "Can China win?" Stilwell said, "There is no choice but to eliminate Chiang Kai-shek." During the 1944 Hengyang battle, he could not sleep at night and twice. He says he thought about suicide. The American side also planned to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, and three methods of "poisoning", "aircraft incident", and "pretending to be suicide" were considered, but it was canceled in 1944 due to changes in the international situation such as Burma. The successor that the United States envisioned is Sun Fountain. As Roosevelt's Chief of Staff George Marshall and General Joseph Stilwell have long insisted, Chiang Kai-shek's army is actually a demoralized and corrupt organization that does not form an army. It became clear that he had no desire or ability to fight with the United States and other Allied forces. As a result, President Roosevelt changed the scenario of the operation against Japan from the conventional bombing of Japan and other countries from the air bases of mainland China to the one that MacArthur and others claimed to occupy the islands of the Pacific Ocean one after another. China was dismissed at the Yalta Conference, and the Allied nation's footsteps were disturbed, with angry Chiang Kai-shek presenting a peace plan to Japan against the will of the United States. In the Japan-US negotiations, Japan's allegations were peace by the confluence of Wang Jingwei of the Nanjing government and Chiang Kai-shek of the Chongqing government, and a proposal for defense from communism jointly by Japan and China. The US allegation was the withdrawal of Japanese troops from China, admitting only the Chongqing government. The negotiations broke down and the United States stopped oil, resulting in a war between Japan and the United States. The Japanese Operation Ichi-Go attack left the National Revolutionary Army with 750,000 casualties. This caused the Kuomintang to lose to the Communist Party in the civil war. China would not have been dominated by the dictatorship Communist Party if it had made peace with Japan and cooperated in protecting it from communism.

I didnt know my people suffered so much. I have tears running down my face watching this. Lets not go into the opium war etc. My heart aches and my soul is hurt 😞

Asia is broken and has bled a hundred times over. Only by realizing how much it has bled and how it was cut can it ever truly come together and heal those wounds. History should never be tainted or hidden. Countries need to forget their pride as individual nations and need history in its purest form. The most beautiful history is also the truest. No nation is innocent, that is true, but people are. People deserve to live, and war takes away that right for every individual it touches. Its effects last through generations and generations. In the end, no one truly wins in any war. By working together, so much more can be achieved for every side involved, and by learning from our pasts, we can better understand that people, no matter where they are from, are always people.

How noble.

After the interview Gov:we need to wipe her memories

Japan sorry to tell you that your country is being watch by God himself and all his prophets very closely now ,by the way no one shall ever be superior to other than God himself and all his prophets .

It won't be difficult for her provided that it's the TRUTH that she wants!

Good on her

respect

It will never appear in Japanese history textbook

Ah so thats why they got nuked

Real and Based

crazy the first one good stuff

This is one brave woman.

This woman has so much courage and strength for seeking the truth AND teaching others!!

Very beautiful soul.

Respect to anyone seeking the truth, especially when it's difficult.

See? This is why i hate how people always say ’Japan’ as if it’s their entire people and culture hiding the truth, and not their government. When you want to accuse the Japanese government of hiding it’s past atrocities, at least refer to it as ’the Japanese government’ instead of ’Japan’. That would be like saying that every Japanese citizen is a liar. I shouldn’t have to say that and point that out, but i’ve seen it happen. People blame everyone from their ethnicity, even though they aren’t even involved with the Goverment. Humans are idiots.

didnt japanese rewrite the massacre as an incident with maybe 80 people harmed

💚

Good for her,

Ms. Matsuoka was in charge in my class when I was a child. At least, she shouldn’t work at elementary school.

The reporter's pronunciation is bad.

Italy Germany Japan

line in a song, an angry silenced

Respect.

Any nanking massacre deniers here?? There has to be someone scholarly enough to deny this .....

Just prior, was the Chinese Red Army going to attack Japan? Did Japan strike first?

she can come to the U.S

Very courageous!

In the reality Japan didn't want war against China, but Tungchow Mutiny(Massacre of Japanese citizens by China, July 29, 1937) happened and had to send troops to China. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QLVlMPXhHRU.html After all, Shanghai incident and Nanjing Incident(so called Nanjing Massacre) were just the combat operations after Tungchow Mutiny.

Japan glorifying its WW2 war criminals in its shrine.

CCTV IS JUST A BIG JOKE

dont worry well shut her down.

At the time of the Nanjing Massacre, there was almost no infrastructure when the Japanese troops entered Nanjing. In other words, most of the residents of Nanjing (population of 1 million or more) have already evacuated from Nanjing. The lack of infrastructure is the decisive reason why there were no Nanjing residents. Nanjing is a big city that requires 550,000 people including 250,000 survivors, assuming that the number of people slaughtered is 300,000. Even if there was a Japanese bombing, there should be a considerable amount of debris. But there is nothing in the video. Compare it with the city of Shanghai and Chongqing.

Nanking grand festival ~~~lol

The "Battle of Nanking" written by Tamaki Matsuoka is a big lie. In 2000, when she was interviewed, only 30 soldiers from the 33rd Infantry Regiment were alive, but her book says that she interviewed 59. Moreover, they are all pseudonyms. It's not worth considering because such a crazy thing is a "witness of the Nanjing Massacre". When it comes to "testimony of the Nanjing Massacre," everyone in the Allies, including China, trusts and praises them without verification, but they are addicted to Chinese propaganda.

No such incident happened.
