Chinese version of German book on WWII crimes debuts
The Chinese version of German writer Manfred Kittel's book After the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials, which details Japan's and Germany's crimes during World War II, debuted at the world's largest book fair in Frankfurt on Wednesday.
The Chinese version is published by Shanghai Jiaotong University Press and is about the history of World War II, as seen through the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials.
"The countries that committed crimes should have a pragmatic attitude about World War II," said Zhang Fuhai, director of the international exchange and cooperation department of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television. "While we are happy Germany has given deep introspection to its crimes, we deplore that Japan has not expressed enough regret or introspection after the war."
