Nanjing University Press unveiled the Spanish and Kazakh editions of History of the Nanjing Massacre after it’s available in English, Hebrew, Polish, Korean and Hindi. 

In 2021, Professor Lu Suping of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln worked with the memorial hall to publish Japanese Atrocities in Nanjing - The Nanjing Massacre and Post-Massacre Social Conditions Recorded in German Diplomatic Documents. This book is now available in English and German languages. Professor Lu also published two of his English books in Chinese this year.  

The memorial hall’s experts released a new book on the international safety zone established by Hamburg-born John Rabe and other foreigners to save Chinese when the Japanese troops captured Nanjing in 1937. This is the first such publication in China that has made systematic and comprehensive study of the safety zone as this year marks the 140th birth anniversary of John Rabe, regarded as the "Oskar Schindler of China." 

Cui Wei, a researcher at the Institute of History, Jiangsu Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, published his new Chinese book on the international impact of the Nanjing Massacre through the lenses of third countries.  

The other book collected stories of 15 Japanese who have respected historical truth, reflected on the Japanese aggression and also actively safeguarded peace.
