Overview
About This Collection
Our resources on the Nanjing atrocities challenge students to consider the complex questions that this history raises about wartime violence, justice, and memory.
Use these resources to help students bear witness to the events through the voices of Nanjing survivors, reflect on the consequences of human action and inaction during times of crisis, and consider how to achieve justice and reconciliation in the aftermath of atrocities.
The collection includes a 5-week unit for high school students in addition to readings, videos, and handouts to deepen students’ exploration of this history.
