    My answers;

    1 - Chinese. Hong Kong, China

    2 - Dont know, not a historial type of person...sorry

    3 - Yes, I think I heard abt it long ago.

    4 - learnt that fm the history lesson at my Secondary School in H.K.

    5 - Well... felt kind of sad when I first hear it, and now I thought these are at the past... not very care anymore

    6 - I am out of the country at the moment, so I would guess if they were there, they would feel quite sad abt this incidents but they probably have already forgotten abt all that since is so long ago.

    Hope that help to do whatever u are planning to do... -sweat

    Chinese, USA
    2. Do you know about the German Holocaust (where Hitler/Nazis killed the Jewish)?
    Yes.

    3. Do you know about the Holocaust in China (where the Japanese killed the Chinese)?
    No/Yes <-- heard about don't really know about.

    4. If you do, tell how/where(school?)/when(age?) you learned about it.
    The Holocaust: School, maybe 6th grade, soo about 11?

    5. How do you feel about it, and what is your opinion on it?
    The Holocaust: Not very pleased, annoyed that this was allowed to happen, and no one took charge until it was becoming to late.


    There you go. I only heard about the China one, but I was never taught about it. All I know is Japan at one point in time invaded China and killed lots of people. I think during the Holocaust.

    Chinese/Vietnamese - USA

    2. Do you know about the German Holocaust (where Hitler/Nazis killed the Jewish)?
    Yes

    3. Do you know about the Holocaust in China (where the Japanese killed the Chinese)?
    Yes

    (STOP HERE IS YOU ANSWERED NO)

    4. If you do, tell how/where(school?)/when(age?) you learned about it.
    I learned about the German holocaust in elementary school. I learned about the rape of Nanking at home when I was 3 or so. Parents always talked about it.

    5. If you do, tell how you feel about it and your opinion on it.
    Horrible and uncalled for. The holocaust gets a lot more attention because the Jews make a much bigger deal of it. I can't believe the Japanese have a shrine for somebody who ordered such a brutal thing.

    6. If you know anyone, like your grandparents, that were there when the Japanese did the bad things to the Chinese, please ask for their experience, and answer the following questions in numbered form.
    Unfortunately, can't answer this question as they were killed in that experience.

    Well, my mom was very little when the Japanese invaded Malaya during WWII. Her memories were mainly of the hardships of war. My grandpa was caught and imprisoned by the Japanese. My grandmother escaped with my mom and her siblings into the jungle. They lived in a tree. My grandfather was released after the war. He never talked about his experiences.

    I feel that as long as the Japenese apologies for it and recognise it did happen then it should be forgiven as the past is the past. But I dont like the Japenese trying to glorify their war "heros"

    1. What is your race, and where do you live (country).
    Chinese, live in Canada

    2. Do you know about the German Holocaust (where Hitler/Nazis killed the Jewish)?
    ooh yea

    3. Do you know about the Holocaust in China (where the Japanese killed the Chinese)?
    yep

    (STOP HERE IF YOU ANSWERED NO)

    4. If you do, tell how/where(school?)/when(age?) you learned about it.
    Learned about the jewish holocaust in gr 10 history so when i was 15... the chinese one i heard from family, i dont remember when, my mom and grandparents feel very strongly about it and as such i hear it alot

    5. How do you feel about it, and what is your opinion on it?
    War is inevitable... its extremely tragic that both these holocausts occured. Im actually ashamed to say that i felt almost nothing when i heard about the jewish holocaust. Exactly as i said before, war is inevitable and jews were killed cause they were weaker. What did piss me off was that the germans did not kill for strategic purposes, they did not do so in order to win a war or to gain anything out of it. From what i understand it was just out of racial discrimination, Germany wanted to rid themselves of weakness by killing the jews. The chinese holocaust of course i feel much more strongly about since it is closer to home. What happened was that during WW2 the chinese capital was taken over then the japanese killed, raped, and mutilated doing all sorts of inhumane things. And even afterwards they havent given a proper apology and theres like a shrine of the criminals in tokyo. To this day i get a feeling disgust when i see the old WW2 jap uniforms but i do not hate the jap people like my grandparents do.I dont see how the actions of handful of them denotes the same quality to all of the jap people. I'd be watching my anime and out of nowhere my grandmother will come out with it again... i mean... i highly doubt shonen jump had anything to do with WW2. I actually really like japan and i want to go there one day. What i do hate are those japs i see sometimes on tv on their memorial marches or whatever in honor of those who died. I feel childish for feeling angry i know that there are prolly nice people in that march too but i just want to beat those old ppl to a bloody pulp.


    6. If you know anyone, like your grandparents, that were there when the Japanese did the terrible things to the Chinese, please ask for their experience, and answer the following questions in numbered form.
    i rather not. My grandmother doesnt really know what happened. i already know shes just gonna say that the japs are really cruel and they're all pk's -mellow
