Definitely! The history books have been sanitized to a very large extent. There are however, Japanese authors who have written books on the war crimes of Tojo, and General Yamashita and the rape of Nanking. These books are available in libraries throughout Japan.

To whom would this Japanese communicate a 'shocking truth'?
Japan is highly structured. Punishments exist for people who do not conform. Change in Japan must trickle down from the top.
Abe, the present chief goverment leader, is not receptive to all
content of internet sources. I personally expect Japan has its military plans to occupy Korea as a second class client state. Abe knows this was the status of Korea at the end of WWII.
Who were the 3rd Class people that 2nt Class killed in WWII? .

Japanese textbooks in Japanese do treat war crimes commited very lightly. They generally only mention them in simple passing. To some extent I understand why they realize they made a mistake and are trying to move past it and forget about it.
American textbooks do the same thing in regards to treatment of the Native Americans and eugenics program that led to the steralization of thousand of minorities.
There are 3 professors that I am aware of at Sophia University and Waseda University who do talk about his issue with students.
However, the majorioty of the population is unaware of the extent.

specific they have been. regularly conflict crimes are categorized in reaction to what all human beings is doing. In Germany, throughout the time of conflict crimes trials against German management, indiscriminate bombings of civilians populations weren't seen conflict crimes simply by fact the allies engaged in this custom besides. Japan's activities in WW2 make the unintended bombings of the US seem tame. They have been in line with danger the main brutal struggling with tension ever, i do no longer even choose for to point right here the sorts of issues they did. conflict crimes are relatively a complex way of punishing the losers of a conflict. They continuously have been. the US replaced into discovered responsible of a few 30 unusual conflict crimes in the gulf conflict (UN conflict Crimes Tribunal), they did no longer face punishment for a single one.

So, their back at it. I'm curious to see if they edit out other aspects of their history liek they did during the 1930's. The internet isn't that effective if you indoctrinate students to believe it is worthless and unworthy of trust.

EVERYTHING, fact or fiction, is on the internet. Japan does not control it. As a matter of fact, no country controls it.
