Wang Peigen, 76, who survived the Japanese germ war, told the American teachers the fate of former villager Wu Xiaonai.
"Wu was only 18 years old when she was infected with the plague. She came to Linshan Temple where the Japanese troops kept the sick people and asked for medical care. However, the Japanese tied her up in a chair wrapped up her head in bandages and then cut open her chest," Wang said.
Organized by the Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WWII in Asia (GA), the delegation arrived in China on June 28. They have talked with "comfort women" who are still alive in Shanghai and visited the memorial hall of the victims of the Nanjing massacre.
"I am deeply moved by what I have seen in Congshan Germ Warfare Museum. I would like to bring the material back to Britain and let more people know about it," said David Brown, a media officer from Aegis Trust U.K. Holocaust Center.
Kerreen Brandt, who has been teaching European history for 17 years in San Rafael High School, said, "All of us have learnt a lot from the tour. I am privileged to be here and to speak to the survivors personally. This brings history alive. I will educate my students with all I have seen in China and make sure that such a tragedy will never ever happen again."
