Do Japanese children learn about WW2 at school?

Question

Especially the atrocities committed against POWs?

Answer 1

Does US teach negative side of your US toops to your children?
about what they done against POWs in Vietnam and MidEast?
What nation describe and teach that kind things fully to their children?
Who and which nation are NOT biased?

If you know. tell me.
Even Germany doesn't teach everything.
Why US don't tell they are evil ppl to their children?
Why China govenment don't tell the truth of Cultural Revolutio to their citizen? Killed more than 50 mil?

Why world continue to accuse Germany and Japan? Why US military aren't accused abt their hisotry? Isn't it strange?
It is simple. Because they r defeated.

Answer 2

That's a very good point. I am currently an American living in Japan, and it seems from the attitudes of some groups of younger Japanese that perhaps they aren't aware of why Japan is politically in the place it is now with regards to the U.S especially. That can't be said for all, of course but just a few.

Answer 3

They learn an absurd fairy tale. Atrocities?! POWS?

How now, brown cows?

Answer 4

their textbks r biased. they did not mentioned tat japanese r the evil ppl. and how the war started. the japanese ought 2 b more truthful. shame on them.

Answer 5

You know, that's a really good question. I would say that they just learn from books, but they may learn it from teachers.

Answer 6

Yeah, though from a wrong view. They think that WWII is correct! Their textbooks are misleading.

Answer 7

Hmm, they might. But then, history has been and always will be biased...
