After angry reaction from the people of Okinawa, text refering to mass suicides during the war can be restored in textbooks. The Japanese government had stopped pubishers from making any reference to this episode in history books. It is said that the army pressured people to kill themselves at the end of the war, rather than give themselves in to the Americans and their allies. The few survivors say this happened and should be written in the books whereas the govenments have denied any wrong doing. Could this sudden change in attitude mean that these crimes did take place?
