The Rape of Nanking (Nanjing is the modern spelling) is an incident with no historic parallels and one that might represent the most horrific fortnight ever suffered by a human population. Over the course of this at least 2-part episode, we’ll hear stories of unborn children being cut from the wombs of expectant mothers… Of men buried to their waists before being eaten alive by hungry dogs… We’ll hear tales of forced incest, and violent gang rape. And we’ll be talking about all of this occurring on an enormous scale. Our topic today is an event in which, over the course of 2 weeks, 300,000 people were raped, tortured, and slaughtered.
