This is a petition calling for the acknowledgment of Japanese war crimes as well as a reminder to all that we must remember our crimes as people of a nation and human beings. In doing so, we can unite and settle our differences as in these times of crises, it is strength of unity which drives us forward. As such, Japanese or American, we all should take responsibility for what we do and acknowledge our mistakes. In doing so, we can learn between right and wrong. The following are research papers and links with details on Japanese war crimes. The purpose of this is purely to raise awareness on historical events and why such things should never be condoned.
