What pisses me off is how history books are all about the Holocaust and how many Jews were exterminated but hardly a word about The Rape of Nanking (China). I brought it up with a Chinese dude last week and he was shocked that I knew anything about it. USA of selective memories

Not only western countries, the role of Russia in WW2 is vastly underrepresented in american history sources.
