Default Re: Japanese lady didn't know about ww2

After the war in Germany there was also something like this. It was verboten to talk about ww2. It was just skipped over in the history lessons.

Japan did that more intensive. Many generations passed and still the Japs didn't taught anything about ww2. Or maybe judt the facts about manchuria and the glorious wins before ww2. I'm not quite sure about what they just teached but I don know that's it not lang that they started teaching about it. Japan always sais that they treatened the POW's with the upmost respect and that not that many soldiers died.

I think it's just for 4 or 5 years now that they appologized for those things an admit theire mistake.
