After defeating Japan people in the USA sent gifts to the Japanese and other war-torn areas like Germany. After receiving packages of crayons and pencils, one school sent some of their hope for the future drawings back to the church where they received the supplies from. It sat in their archives till now. It was restored and sent back to Japan to be put on display.

I like this story a lot. However, to truly understand World War II it might be helpful to visit a cemetery in Europe like the one in Anzio, Italy where there is nothing but polished white tombstones for as far as the eye can see. Millions of people lost their lives and people can still not understand why we bombed Japan. People were tired of sending their sons to die. It is that simple.

We ask only for a place to bury our dead.
