This could get touchy, but I agree with you.
A good question would be to ask everyone who reads this: Do you know what happened during the massacre of Nanking?
If the majority don't, then the question begs to be answered, why not?
If the number of deaths is of significance, then Nanking, as you already stated, had an estimated 300,000 in 6 weeks.
If the brutality of the murders is important, some feel Nanking was one of the most brutal events to ever occur in history.
Which brings me to the last part of what you said. Why the denial by the Japanese government? And why, is it okay for them to push it aside, when it's illegal in Germany to even deny the holocaust existed?
Former Justice Minister Shigeto Nagano of Japan, denied that the massacre had even occurred, claiming it was a Chinese fabrication.
