11 million Chinese civilians were murdered by the Japanese in horrifically similar ways to the Nazis and they never get a mention, the Japanese even tried to erase it from their children's school books recently. Up to 2 million German mainly women and children died when the east was ethnically cleansed at the end of the war to, it's okay though, those children were Nazis

I do know that it happened though, and it was a terrible thing.
Perhaps the PC world we live in has a bearing on the younger generations knowledge of such matters, there are many subjects which get little mention due to the 'sensitive' nature of them.

I've heard this said a few times now, that it never happened or the numbers were hugely exageratted and challenged the person saying it on every occasion and on every occasion it was a Muslim saying it. Sadly only on one occasion did I even remotely get through to them. I wondered how prevalent these opinions were in the Muslim community at the time and looking at these figures I'd say pretty widespread.
