From the Introduction to _The Rape of Nanking_, by Iris Chang.

"What baffled and saddened me during the writing of this book was the persistent
Japanese refusal to come to terms with its own past. It is not just that Japan has
doled out less than 1 percent of the amount that Germany paid in war reparations to
its victims. It is not just that, unlike most Nazis, who, if not incarcerated for
their crimes were at least forced from public life, many Japanese war criminals
continue to occupy powerful positions in industry and government after the war. And
it is not just the fact that while Germans have made repeated apologies to their
Holocaust victims, the Japanese have enshrined their war criminals in Tokyo - an act
that one American wartime victim of the Japanese has labeled politically equivalent
to 'erecting a cathedral for Hitler in the middle of Berlin.'"
