A visitor is overwhelmed by an
exhibition focussing on the Nanjing Massacre at China's National Museum August
10, 2005. The exhibition, free to visitors, commemorates China's victory in the
War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression as part of the 60th anniversary of
the end of World War II. Japanese invading troops occupied Nanjing on December
13, 1937, and launched a six-week massacre, killing more than 300,000 Chinese
people, most of them civilians. (newsphoto)
