南京大屠殺展覽在法國卡昂開幕 中法共同見證歷史

An exhibition entitled "Common Witness: The Rape of Nanjing Massacre" opened last Saturday in Caen, France.

《共同見證：南京大屠殺》展覽於上週六在法國卡昂開展。

It is the first such exhibition in Europe since the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization added the Nanjing Massacre to its "Memory of the World Register" in 2015.

這是自2015年聯合國教科文組織將南京大屠殺正式列入《世界記憶名錄》後，歐洲首次舉辦此類展覽。

The exhibition spans 800 square meters, with over 270 photos, 50 pieces of physical evidence and videos on the Nanjing Massacre, which lasted from Dec. 13, 1937 to January 1938, during which more than 300,000 civilians and Chinese unarmed soldiers were killed by Japanese invaders, said Zhang Jianjun, general director of the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall.

南京大屠殺紀念館館長張建軍表示，該展覽佔地面積800平方米，共展出有關南京大屠殺的270餘幅歷史照片、50餘件展品和視頻資料。南京大屠殺從1937年12月13日持續到1938年1月，在此期間共有超過30萬名市民及手無寸鐵的中國士兵被日本侵略者殺害。

The Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, which co-organized the exhibition with the Caen Memorial, is China's largest museum dedicated to this massacre.

與卡昂紀念館聯合舉辦此次展覽的南京大屠殺紀念館，是有關此次大屠殺的中國最大的紀念館。

The exhibition mainly introduces the massacre in the eyes of European and American witnesses who were in Nanjing during the unusual inhuman tragedy, presenting daily notes, letters, documents, photos and videos made by these witnesses.

本次展覽重點通過展出當年身處南京的歐美人士留下的日記、書信、文件、照片及影像，介紹他們眼中的這場世所罕見、慘無人道的悲劇。

"We welcome this exhibition for our public to learn that the Second World War indeed started in July 1937." said Stephane Grimaldi, general director of the Caen Memorial, during the exhibition's inauguration ceremony.

卡昂紀念館館長史蒂芬·格里馬爾迪在開幕典禮上表示：“我們對本次關於1937年7月開始的二戰的相關展覽表示歡迎。”

"History does not change. History is not forgotten. It sheds light on the future. We meet here today, not to perpetuate the hatred, but to enable our future generations to live in peace," said Chinese Ambassador to France Zhai Jun.

中國駐法國大使翟雋表示：“歷史不會改變。歷史不應被忘卻。它揭示了未來。我們今天在這裏會聚，不是爲了延續仇恨，而是讓我們的子孫和平相處。”
