The 2006 Iris Chang Memorial Essay Contest award ceremony will take place at the Nanjing Ji : Commemoration of the 69th Anniversary Of Nanjing Massacre - 南京祭
in December. The top three winners of the Contest will be honored at
the event. We are grateful to The Rape of Nanking Redress Coalition
for their kind co-sponsorship for the awards ceremony this year.
Nanjing
Ji is an annual commemoration held in San Francisco, California. It
honors and pays tribute to the many innocent individuals who suffered
and died during the Rape of Nanking. It is also a remembrance of other
victims who perished in the brutalities committed by the Japanese
Imperial Army during World War II. Genocide survivors, human rights
activists, community leaders and the general public will gather at
this event to pay tribute to the victims, demand reconciliation and
reparation from the Japanese government, and renounce violence and
advocate for peace throughout the world. This year, the Nanjing Ji is
co-sponsored by The Rape of Nanking Redress Coalition, The Global Alliance for Preserving the History of WW II in
Asia, and The Association for Preserving the Truth of the Sino-Japanese War.
Please join us for a significant event pursuing world peace and justice.
