Memorial ceremony held on Ontario's Nanjing Massacre Commemorative Day

People attend a memorial ceremony on the second Ontario's Nanjing Massacre Commemorative Day at Markham Civic Center in Markham, Ontario, Canada, on Dec. 13, 2018. Hundreds of people attended the event on Thursday to commemorate the 300,000 victims of the Nanjing Massacre. Japanese troops occupied Nanjing, then China's capital, on Dec. 13, 1937, and began a six-week massacre. Chinese records show that more than 300,000 people -- both unarmed soldiers and civilians -- were brutally murdered and over 20,000 women raped. (Xinhua/Zou Zheng)
