I recently visited the Hellfire Pass memorial in Thailand. For those who don't know, Hellfire Pass, also known as Konyu Cutting, was the deadliest and most brutal section of the Japanese Death Railway to Burma for the POWs forced into labor.
The memorial, which I highly recommend, includes an audio headset which plays interviews with survivors as you walk through the pass. Their accounts are chilling though certainly not to the level of the Nanking Massacre.
