BEIJING, Dec.1 --The Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders held a press conference on the newly acquired cultural relics and historical data on November 30, 2022. A total of 453 pieces (sets) of important historical materials were collected in the memorial hall.
北京，12月1日：11月30日，侵華日軍南京大屠殺遇難同胞紀念館舉行2022年新征文物史料新聞發布會，共計453件（套）重要文物史料入藏紀念館。
The newly collected cultural relics and historical materials in 2022, including photos, soldiers' logs, and substantial objects, served to further confirm the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in China and deepen the public's understanding of the nature of Japanese militarist aggression. These important historical materials have high research values.
2022年新征集文物史料包括照片、士兵日志、實物等種類，進一步確證了侵華日軍暴行，拓寬了研究領域，深化了對日本軍國主義侵略本質的認識，具有重要的史料和研究價值。
It is worth mentioning that Daito Satoshi, a Japanese friend, once again collected 51 pieces (sets) of precious historical materials in Japan in 2022, including the Battlefield Log of Jun Arai, a Japanese soldier and invader to China, the Battlefield Log of the 11th Squadron of the 36th Infantry Company of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army Invading China, relevant photos of the Unit Ei 1644 of the Japanese Army Invading China, and the Nanjing Massacre-themed charades cards.
值得一提的是，日本友人大東仁先生今年再次于日本搜集了51件（套）珍貴文物史料，包括侵華日軍士兵新井淳的《陣中日志》、侵華日軍第九師團步兵第三十六聯隊第十一中隊《陣中日志》、侵華日軍榮第1644部隊相關照片、“‘南京陷落’兒童教育戲劇卡片”等。
"More than 60 photos concerned with the Unit Ei 1644, a unit specializing in bacteriological warfare set up in Nanjing City during the Japanese invasion to China in 1939, were collected this time, filling the gap in historical data, and corroborating exhibits found in Nanjing in 1998 like skulls of the victims under bacterial test. They are helpful to further deepen the study on bacterial warfare," said Meng Guoxiang, a professor at Nanjing Medical University and researcher on the history of the Nanjing Massacre. According to Meng, although the Unit Ei 1644 in Nanjing is as notorious as the Unit 731, there have been few substantial materials or data left about the Unit Ei 1644, not to mention photos, since these bacteria tests were done with great secrecy and almost all relevant materials left were destroyed the Japanese army later.
“此次征集到榮第1644部隊照片共有60余張，填補了史料空白，并與1998年在南京發現的細菌試驗受害者頭顱等證物相互印證，有助于進一步深化和細化細菌戰研究?！蹦暇┽t科大學教授、南京大屠殺史研究學者孟國祥介紹，在南京的榮第1644部隊和731部隊同樣臭名昭著，但由于這些細菌試驗都是極隱秘的，后期日軍又將相關資料銷毀，因此榮第1644部隊的實物資料極少，照片就更為少見。
Ai Delin, head of the Cultural Relics Department of the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, said that the newly found Battlefield Log of the 11th Squadron of the 36th Infantry Company of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army Invading China, together with another Battlefield Log collected in the Memorial Hall 2021, is an archive record of the same unit fighting in different periods and places, serving to more comprehensively disclose the atrocious invasion of China by the Japanese army.
紀念館文物部門負責人艾德林介紹，此次新征集到的侵華日軍第九師團步兵第三十六聯隊第十一中隊的《陣中日志》，與去年紀念館征集到的一套《陣中日志》為同一部隊在不同時間段、不同地點作戰的檔案記錄，更全面地揭示了日軍對中國的侵略事實。
Since its founding in the 1980s, the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders has collected a total of 6,318 items of precious cultural relics in 1,216 sets, including 384 items of first-class cultural relics in 166 sets. The collection comes from different channels, including excavation, acquisition from the public, social donation, etc.
