It's funny, I just started reading The Joy Luck Club, and the first story talks about what happened in Nanking in 1937, and then an Imgur post shows up (and I'm rarely on it).
History people will know what I'm talking about.
If you don't, you're in very good company. It doesn't seem to get mentioned much.
Concise Imgur history lesson:
[Again I invoke a warning. This is the most violent shit ever. Seriously. A fucking Nazi tried to save people from it.]

My point in bringing this up is one, Holy fucking shit what the hell is wrong with the human species, and two, Why don't we hear about THIS shit? We (Americans, I'm speaking of) study WWII, but does anyone ONCE mention this event? Not commonly.
Also, I feel like I just need to talk about this now.
