I was born in Cedar City Utah, at 10:41 on September 25, 1952. My Great gREAT Grandfather was born in Sutherland, Scottland. Sutherland is a NATO Base now, but those working on the Sutherland or Cruel Clearances may leave information here. Likewise any other material on the highland clearances. The Sutherland Clearances wer considered to exceed all others in inhumanity, as the ill and sick were burned in their cots, many of the Survivors deported, and Karl Marx vocal on the Subject.

There are two major groups of survivors in our Clan--one went to Matheson, Ontario and the other to Utah. Also see LudditesI have been working on a serial novel that asks fundamental questions about the human will to harm, about mortal conflict, atrocity, war, genocide. Since the Mountain Meadows Massacre was the Early Pioneer's secret sin, and the Atomic Testing our suffering, I wonder a great many things Was the testing at NTS, and the high mortality that followedgenocide?

I write sci-fi, fantasy and mid 19-20 Century Historical Fiction, so you might find me anywhere asking anything.

'Sino-Japanese Wars--1938-1946, WWII.'

My father was a Flying Tiger (1943). Those working on the Asian Genocides may go to my site in construction at http://www.xanga.com/TokyoTribunal. This topic is beginning to heat up rapidly, prior to the 2007 Chinese Olympics

Most of us who know anything don't have a great deal of time or have already passed on. My research isweb based.I may not find your comment/input unless you email me. So feel free to mail auntkathleen@mac.com.

If you are seeking China WWII info I'd start by reading all of Pearl Buck. I also recommend '''Ding Hao, Cornelius and Short, and the Gates of Heavenly Peace. There is a photo book called Ching Pao, but the graphic quality seems low contrast.

There is quite a bit of new information on the Web now--material coming out of China, gruesome stuff but important relative to WWII POW Camps because many are still in use. See Falun Gong and Nanking Massacre, Organ Harvesting. I was aware of the massive atrocities in China at a fairly young age. I never know what to say about whether war material is adult content or not.

Our parents, the WWII generation thought five old enough to witness mass Nazi buriels. May we never forget. May they never forget. I'd be glad to hear your comments. If the recruitment age were 21 I'd think war education could be put off abit--but you can sign a contract to commit war crimes at 17--do we want our young people sneaking off to listen to a recruiter extoll the virtues of war for the first time, beleiving that they were too young to view graphic material, pictures of what they may face in a few years.

Pictures of War Atrocities are, I believe, in a special category. Tell me what you think. There were small children present frequently at all such events. War is perpetrated by adults, but I wouldn't call it an adult activity.
