Japanese soldiers came to our village and forced me to lead them to where 'flower girls' hid. I
would rather die than do this kind of inhuman thing. I refused and angered them. An officer cut

'Fathers [were forced to] rape their own daughters, brothers their sisters, sons
their mothers';
"""
There [were] so many bodies on the street, victims
of group rape and murder. They were all stripped naked, their breasts cut off, leaving
a terrible dark brown hole; some of them were bayoneted in the abdomen, with their
intestines spilling out alongside them; some had a roll of paper or a piece of wood stuffed
in their vaginas';

In some cases, the
Japanese sliced open the vaginas of preteen girls in order to ravish them more effectively
