LDP, DPJ lawmakers to study Nanjing Massacre from Monday

LDP, DPJ lawmakers to study Nanjing Massacre from Monday: "A group of lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties will start examining the 1937 Nanjing Massacre from Monday with the aim of countering descriptions of it in the late Iris Chang's bestseller 'The Rape of Nanking,' the group members said Thursday.

The lawmakers said they have decided to hold three study sessions because they are concerned that anti-Japanese campaigns could begin at a time when 10 films, many based on the book, will be produced around the world to mark the 70th anniversary of the atrocity."
