Ah, but some do. I lost several members of my family (actually my grandparents did) Too this day, you don’t mention Japan or the Japanese in front of some of my family members without getting a seriously heated debate going. And people wonder why I quit going to family reunions!!
Granted. There’s always going to be some who hold anamosity towards the Japanese [for PH] over the loss of family members. (There’s a few in my family too) Yet, there were many “participants” from both sides who have come face to face many years later at the 50th (?) Anniversary. They sat down together and discussed what had happened, shared their memories, etc. A very emotional time which, no doubt had some “heated discussions”.
