The Sankei Shimbun has reported that the three photos have been removed from exhibits the Nanjing Massacre museum in China. According to the Sankei, the photos removed had been inaccurately presented as depictions of events related to Japanese war crimes in Nanjing. They included:

• A photo of victims from a bandit attack in Korea, inaccurately labeled as victims of a Japanese massacre in China.
• The famous photo of a wounded Chinese baby crying inside a bombed out building in Shanghai, which the museum had apparently presented as a scene of Nanjing.
• A photo of women and children being escorted by troops. The museum said it was a photo of comfort women being abducted by Japanese soldiers, while the Sankei states it was just a photo of villagers being escorted by troops.

Critics have often used the display of the photos as an example of the Nanjing museum’s inaccuracy. The article says that this is the first time China has corrected an exhibit at the museum.
