德日两国缘何对二战评断迥异

Why Do Germany and Japan Differ So Widely in Their Judgment on the Second World War

二战中,德日两国均对世界人民犯下了深重大罪.时至今日,德国得到了世界大家庭各成员国的谅解,而日本则越来越为许多国家人民所鄙夷和不信任,特别是它近年来严重歪曲历史,其用心更是让亚洲各国人民严重关注.究其原因,是由于二战后60年来两国受内外部因素的影响导致各自对历史罪行认知不同.

Senior Researcher of the China Institute of International Studies and Guest Researcher of CPDS. Both Germany and Japan committed heinous crimes to the people throughout the world during the Second World War. Up to today, Germany has obtained the forgiveness from all member states of the international community. On the contrary, Japan is despised and distrusted by the people of more and more countries. Especially in recent years, Japan gravely distorts history and its ulterior motives deserve serious public attention of the world people. Tracing to their sources, the reason is that both countries are affected by different factors internally and externally in the past 60 years since the Second World War, thus leading them to divergent awareness over their respective historical crimes.
