A museum in Japan is facing accusations of “rewriting history” for replacing the Nanking massacre with the word “incident”, drawing criticism and reviving anger over the country’s wartime aggression.

The Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, which previously resisted revisionist attempts, appears to have capitulated to a civic group’s pressure campaign following Thursday’s release of proposed exhibit changes by its operations council.

The International Military Tribunal for the Far East, also known as the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, estimated in 1946 that more than 200,000 Chinese people were killed. »
