Both civilians and militaries were buried, burned alive, tortured and often decapitated. The decapitation sword used in the code of honor of the japanese army\u201d, Emmanuel Thi\u00e9bot, a historian at the Memorial of Caen said.<\/span><\/p>\n The Chinese believe that the number of victims of Nankin massacre was around 300 000. According to foreign scholars, the number of victims would be less. According to the Memorial of Caen, during the Sino Japanese war from 1937 to 1945, the number of dead was between 20 and 35 million people.<\/span><\/p>\n Among the documents presented in the exposition, there are private diaries, photographs, articles published in the international press at that time.

Some Japanese nationalists deny that Japan has committed such atrocities.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2015, the historical documents related to the Nanjing massacre were included in the world memory list by Unesco. Japan has objected to this.<\/span><\/p>\n Preparation of the exposition<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a9St\u00e9phane Geufroi<\/p>\n The preparation of the opening ceremony was accomplished by the French and Chinese teams.<\/p>\n Our key team members:<\/p>\n St\u00e9phane Grimaldi, director of Memorial of Caen, Lu Yanfei, responsable of the ex\u00e9cution of exposition, Zhang Ming, curator of the exposition, Wang Jing, responsable of the execution en France, Zhanghui, coodinator, Rodin, project assistant<\/p>\n The team\u00a0of Memorial of Caen and Memorial of Nankin have worked together<\/p>\n Moulin, vice-director of Memorial of Caen, Zhang Jianjun, director of Memorial of Nankin and our French and Chinese team<\/p>\n Frank Marie, technic director of Memorial of Caen et Wang Jing, responsable of Association Hybridit\u00e9s France-Chine<\/p>\n![\"%e5%b1%8f%e5%b9%95%e5%bf%ab%e7%85%a7-2016-11-22-%e4%b8%8a%e5%8d%8810-23-24\"](\"http:\/\/www.hybriditesfrancechine.com\/cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/11\/\u5c4f\u5e55\u5feb\u7167-2016-11-22-\u4e0a\u534810.23.24.png\")
