Chinese Consulate General in New York Holds Event Marking 80th Anniversary of the Tokyo Trial
The Chinese Consulate General in New York held an event on November 13 marking the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trial, under the theme "Remembering History and Justice, Looking Forward to Friendship and Peace." More than 100 guests from local communities attended.
Acting Consul General Ma Xiaoxiao spoke at the event, warning against signs of a resurgence of a "new militarism." A photo exhibition on the 80th anniversary of the Tokyo Trial was displayed, and the Nanjing Massacre film "Dead to Rights" was screened.
The Tokyo Trial, conducted by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, opened in Tokyo in 1946. George Fitch, the American missionary who served as administrative director of the International Committee for the Nanking Safety Zone, testified at the trial about what he had witnessed during the Nanjing Massacre.
