228, Taiwan Peace Day

February 28, 2003

The date “February 28″ is etched into the hearts and minds of the Taiwanese people like the word “Holocaust” in the history of the Jewish people. On that day, 50 years ago in 1947, an incident took place in Taipei, which led to the massive slaughter of thousands of Taiwanese at the hands of Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese troops… from taiwandc.org

    Thanks for the links. The suggestion that 228 is to the Taiwanese people as the Holocaust is to Jews confuses mountains and molehills, of course.
