Interesting and well-made piece, thank you Mark. The Nanjing massacre cannot be, must not be forgotten. In my home town, Århus in Denmark, there is a statue of Bernhard Arp Sindberg (1911-1983) who saved thousands of lives during that attack on humanity. He was site manger at a Danish cement plant in Nanjing and opened the gates of the compound for civilians, mainly women and children seeking rescue. When the Japanese soldiers came at night, drunk, to demand women, he went to the gate with the Danish flag and told them, this place is under Danish protection and you cannot enter. He saved 6-10,000 lives according to official Chinese records. And the statue in Århus was donated by China in 2019. He did not consider himself a hero, just did what had to be done. https://aarhuswiki.dk/mediawiki/images/thumb/e/e0/Bernhard_Sindberg%2C_Nanjing.jpg/675px-Bernhard_Sindberg%2C_Nanjing.jpg
