Japan: Do you know about Nanking?

Question:

In school, did you learn about things like the Nanking Massacre and the Baatan death march among other atrocities commited during WWII?

Answer:

You cannot get a single answer from "Japan". It all depends on each people.
I think most of people know that Japanese army committed some atrocities, including that of Nanking, Philippine, and other places.

However, I cannot tell if every one learned this in school or not.
Japanese education is not fully controlled by the government. Japanese government doesn't want streamlined and fully controlled education, because it could lead propagandizing and brainwashing to some biased way of thinking. There are many different history text books, edited by private companies. It depends on each school and each teacher what to teach, although there are some guideline.

Plus, Most of students don't fully remember what they had learned in their school. Not many young people, honestly speaking, pay big attention on what had happened 70+ years ago.
Most of average people's knowledge of history come not from school, but from TV and/or books.
