REASONS WHY FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN UNDERSTAND THE HUMAN COST OF WAR/Jenny Chan of PACIFIC ATROCITIES EDUCATION

Jenny Chan is the co-founder of Pacific Atrocities Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and teaching the often-overlooked histories of World War II in the Asia-Pacific region. Inspired by family memories and the work of historians such as Iris Chang, Jenny has spent more than a decade researching wartime atrocities, preserving archival records, and making these histories accessible to students, educators, and the public.

Through Pacific Atrocities Education, Jenny and her team have digitized more than one million pages of historical records, published educational books, trained student researchers, interviewed survivors and descendants, and produced public history videos through Pacific Front Untold. Her work focuses on truth, memory, education, and the belief that forgotten histories must be taught so future generations can better understand the human cost of war.

• Why are so many World War II stories from Asia and the Pacific so little known in the United States?

• How my own family history led me to this work, and why I felt responsible for preserving these memories.

• The importance of survivor testimony, especially as the wartime generation is passing away.

• Unit 731, biological warfare, and why these crimes were hidden for so long after the war.

• The role of archival research includes how hard it is to find, scan, organize, and explain historical records.

• Why Pacific Atrocities Education trains students to work with primary sources and tell these stories for the next generation.

• The connection between remembrance and justice, and why learning difficult history can help build empathy.

• Why these stories matter today, not only for Asian and Pacific communities, but for anyone who believes history should be told truthfully.
