1998年5月1日的《日本时报》发表了记者乔温尼·法佐一篇题为《让人想起了历史健忘症》的文章,文中说:“在日本,如今竟有许多自民党的老党员公然宣称南京大屠杀并未发生过,那只不过是个谎言”。与这类言论相呼应,一部由伊藤俊也导演的长达两小时四十分钟的影片《自尊·命运的瞬间》,又将所谓“谎言”做了进一步的展开。 The Japan Times, published on May 1, 1998, published an article by Qiao Vinny Fazzo, entitled “Reminiscent of History of Amnesia,” in which he said: “In Japan, there are so many LDP’s Party members blatantly declared that the Nanjing Massacre had not occurred, that was only a lie. ” Echoing these remarks, a two-hour and 40-minute film titled “The Moment of Self-esteem and Destiny,” directed by Ito Jun further reinforces the so-called “lies.”
