On the morning of August 15, the Memorial Hall hosted the book promotion event Let History Speak and Present Facts with Historical Evidence, a series of publications on research into the Nanjing Massacre.

More than 50 guests from China and abroad attended the event, including Thomas Rabe, grandson of John Rabe, the former chairman of the International Committee for the Nanjing Safety Zone; Mark Thomas, nephew of George Hogg, an international friend who aided China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression; and Eric Foster, nephew of Edgar Snow, author of Red Star Over China.

Distinguished guests from China and abroad visit the Memorial Hall.

At a micro-exhibition featuring foreign-language translations of works on the Nanjing Massacre, a wide range of multilingual publications were neatly displayed. These included the English, French, and Japanese editions of the Journal of the Japanese Invasion of China and the Nanjing Massacre; the English, Hebrew, Polish, Korean, and Spanish versions of The History of the Nanjing Massacre; as well as works such as The Diaries of John Rabe, John Rabe and China, and A Complete Record of the Nanjing Massacre. Chinese and international guests paused in front of the exhibition, browsing through the translated books and periodicals.
