BEIJING, Dec.1 --The Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders held a press conference on the newly acquired cultural relics and historical data on November 30, 2022. A total of 453 pieces (sets) of important historical materials were collected in the memorial hall.

北京,12月1日:11月30日,侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆举行2022年新征文物史料新闻发布会,共计453件(套)重要文物史料入藏纪念馆。

The newly collected cultural relics and historical materials in 2022, including photos, soldiers' logs, and substantial objects, served to further confirm the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in China and deepen the public's understanding of the nature of Japanese militarist aggression. These important historical materials have high research values.

2022年新征集文物史料包括照片、士兵日志、实物等种类,进一步确证了侵华日军暴行,拓宽了研究领域,深化了对日本军国主义侵略本质的认识,具有重要的史料和研究价值。

It is worth mentioning that Daito Satoshi, a Japanese friend, once again collected 51 pieces (sets) of precious historical materials in Japan in 2022, including the Battlefield Log of Jun Arai, a Japanese soldier and invader to China, the Battlefield Log of the 11th Squadron of the 36th Infantry Company of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army Invading China, relevant photos of the Unit Ei 1644 of the Japanese Army Invading China, and the Nanjing Massacre-themed charades cards.

值得一提的是,日本友人大东仁先生今年再次于日本搜集了51件(套)珍贵文物史料,包括侵华日军士兵新井淳的《阵中日志》、侵华日军第九师团步兵第三十六联队第十一中队《阵中日志》、侵华日军荣第1644部队相关照片、“‘南京陷落’儿童教育戏剧卡片”等。

"More than 60 photos concerned with the Unit Ei 1644, a unit specializing in bacteriological warfare set up in Nanjing City during the Japanese invasion to China in 1939, were collected this time, filling the gap in historical data, and corroborating exhibits found in Nanjing in 1998 like skulls of the victims under bacterial test. They are helpful to further deepen the study on bacterial warfare," said Meng Guoxiang, a professor at Nanjing Medical University and researcher on the history of the Nanjing Massacre. According to Meng, although the Unit Ei 1644 in Nanjing is as notorious as the Unit 731, there have been few substantial materials or data left about the Unit Ei 1644, not to mention photos, since these bacteria tests were done with great secrecy and almost all relevant materials left were destroyed the Japanese army later.

“此次征集到荣第1644部队照片共有60余张,填补了史料空白,并与1998年在南京发现的细菌试验受害者头颅等证物相互印证,有助于进一步深化和细化细菌战研究。”南京医科大学教授、南京大屠杀史研究学者孟国祥介绍,在南京的荣第1644部队和731部队同样臭名昭著,但由于这些细菌试验都是极隐秘的,后期日军又将相关资料销毁,因此荣第1644部队的实物资料极少,照片就更为少见。

Ai Delin, head of the Cultural Relics Department of the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, said that the newly found Battlefield Log of the 11th Squadron of the 36th Infantry Company of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army Invading China, together with another Battlefield Log collected in the Memorial Hall 2021, is an archive record of the same unit fighting in different periods and places, serving to more comprehensively disclose the atrocious invasion of China by the Japanese army.

纪念馆文物部门负责人艾德林介绍,此次新征集到的侵华日军第九师团步兵第三十六联队第十一中队的《阵中日志》,与去年纪念馆征集到的一套《阵中日志》为同一部队在不同时间段、不同地点作战的档案记录,更全面地揭示了日军对中国的侵略事实。

Since its founding in the 1980s, the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders has collected a total of 6,318 items of precious cultural relics in 1,216 sets, including 384 items of first-class cultural relics in 166 sets. The collection comes from different channels, including excavation, acquisition from the public, social donation, etc.

从20世纪80年代建馆以来,侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆共收藏国家珍贵文物1216套6318件,其中一级文物166套384件,藏品来源包括出土挖掘、民间征集、社会捐赠等。
