Massacres

Beyond the battlefield, major massacres of civilians testify to the brutality and inhumanity of war. This gallery tells the stories of victims and survivors of massacres committed by the Japanese military in Nanking (1937), Singapore (1942), and Manila (1945) who embodied courage and humanity in the face of unimaginable cruelty. By telling and remembering their stories, we honour their memory and reaffirm our resolve to build a world without war.
