東京審判75年後,亞洲“二戰”曆史仍餘音回蕩
Seventy-five years ago, around the cold and bleak midnight of Dec. 22-23, 1948, seven convicted Japanese war criminals were marched toward the gallows. Among these former top leaders were Gen. Hideki Tojo, a wartime prime minister found guilty for aggression at Pearl Harbor and for atrocities such as the Burma-Thailand death railway, and Gen. Iwane Matsui, the army commander at Nanjing, who was convicted of failing to prevent the slaughter and mass rape of Chinese there.
75年前,大約是在1948年12月22日至23日寒冷暗淡的午夜前後,七名已被定罪的日本戰犯被押上了絞刑架。這些前最高領導人包括東條英機陸軍大將,他是日本的戰時首相,因偷襲珍珠港和建設所謂“死亡鐵路”的緬泰鐵路等暴行而被定罪。還有鬆井石根大將,他是日軍攻占南京時的陸軍司令,因沒有阻止日軍在南京對中國人進行大規模的屠殺和強奸而被定罪。
