Women dead on the stairs.
         Those suffered mostfrom the barbarity were women. They were not only raped by the Japanese,they were often brutally killed by the Japanese after the rape. "Sometimes(Japanese) cut off their breasts to reveal their white ribs; sometimesJapanese pierce through their lower body with bayonets, let them cry inpain! Sometimes they sticks wooden sticks, reed pipe or carrots into theirlower body and stir, until they are dead, Japanese soldiers clap theirhands and loudly laugh alongside" (Ref. The Record of the Brutal Acts ofthe Japanese Invaders, Political Department, KMT Military Commission, PublishedJuly 1938).

As a consequence,Japanese invaders raped wherever they went. In ShangHai, SuZhu, WuXi, HangZhou...Japanese invaders did the same. The fate of the women in NanJing were particularlymiserable.
