The other day, I was talking to a friend in England and the topic of The Second came up. I told her that even though I have no first hand knowledge, I still find it deeply, deeply disturbing and humbling to ponder what happened during that time. She offered words of consolation: 'Well, but that really was a long time ago.' - 'Maybe, but all those people are still dead.' I refuse to find closure with that part of my countries' history. The least I can do is be eternally sad about what my country has done to the world. Thank you to the OP and thank you for sharing those links. They have reminded me once again to stay deeply disturbed and humbled.
