Yes the american spent alot of effort post world war 2 to educate the german population about the facts of the war.
A similar thing should happen in Israel. I have posted several times in here links to document that Israeli population now is more genocidal in their behavior towards Palestinians than german was post ww2 towards jews.
Something has to change.
But you know what is the sad thing................
Not entirely but the American government is complicit in allowing the Japanese to erase / dilute their WW2 history but not the Germans...the tragedy that happened to the Jewish Diaspora is being played like a broken record every single day.
For good reasons of course because right after WW2 China became Communist / North Korea became Communist and it was a straight up ideological war.
But the Chinese / South Korean Comfort woman / us in South East Asia are kinda getting the bad end of the stick.
And I can assure you a lot of us have our grievances.
There are now younger generation of Japanese who do not believe what they did in WW2 and some even say it is CCP propaganda and lies.
Imagine young Germans saying they didn't really systematically kill Jews and the Jews in camps are pretty much exaggerated.
Worst still, they have nice national graveyards where Hitler and friends were buried there and new generation of Germans pay tribute to their sacrifice in the war.
Long story short, we in East Asia and South East, have recognized that in some way or another, the West..it might sound rather harsh...basically think we are sub human.
And we kinda accepted the reality.
However, reality is with South Korea / Japan / Taiwan newer generation being " brainwashed " in a way that what Japanese did and their occupation and the death's were kinda good in a way.... of course this is somehow accepted in East Asia.
Since the current threat is " China " all atrocities in Asia is almost deem suitable.
I was on a few sites and forums, the Anti Chinese sentiment is so bad in some American circle ( I can understand why). They are hoping the Japanese can occupy the Chinese again and throw their babies in the air and bayonet them Chinese. ( That actually happened not just in China but in South East Asia too.)
Malays, Indians, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Pinoys you name it, it happen. The Thais got away with it because they accepted Japanese occupation and allowed the Japs to use their roads and airports for their invasion of Malaya.
Us in South East Asia, just quietly keep our mouth shut at the moment.
