They do kinda mention it if they’re talking about the timeline of the war. But they might even muddle that by calling it “an incident,” instead of, “attack,” you know what I mean? I think the atomic bombs museum made the news last week because they FINALLY wrote “Japan invades China,” in their timeline. Before that, I think it said something like “war occurs” or “erupts.”
If you don’t mind my ranting, it doesn’t seem like enough people know or care about the suffering endured during the war here in Okinawa either. So many mainland Japanese people only see us as some fun loving islanders without a care in the world.
I have to admit that my knowledge of Japan’s involvement in WW2 is limited. Basically Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, end of war. What happened in Okinawa during the war?
Serious warning though, both are massively capital E Evil. In general japanese treatment of those it deemed subhuman was similar to Germany’s, but not as industrialised.
And then you can understand why Japans official “nothing bad happened” attitude is massively fucked up.
So in the media there it mentions the US bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki but leaves out the Pearl Harbor of it all?

If you don’t want to sleep tonight, read about Unit 731 and the Rape of Nanjing.

Look up the Rape of Nanking, Unit 731, and Comfort Women if you want to learn a bit about Japans involvement in WW2.
They also bombed Australia repeatedly
