KUALA LUMPUR, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) — Preserving the memories of those who lived through World War II not only honors the memory of that generation, but also raises awareness among today's youth, helping dissuade them from supporting those who seek to spark another world war, Roy Anthony Rogers, an associate professor at the Department of International and Strategic Studies at the University of Malaya, said in a recent interview with Xinhua.
With the number of witnesses to humanity's struggle against fascism dwindling every year, it is important to make every effort to document their stories and experiences, the scholar noted, adding that the creation of books, films and other media is vital to ensure that the right lessons are learned from those dark days.
The expert suggested that educators go beyond traditional books and use new technologies to vividly capture wartime events and make them more engaging, without sacrificing the original spirit of these stories and experiences.
“What we can really think about is how catastrophic the Second World War was. Do we want that to happen to our future generations? It could happen again if we don’t take precautions. So we need to really understand what happened, what happened, the aftermath, the hardships that people went through, through the testimonies of those who are still alive or the memories of those who have passed away… Today we have new technologies, not just written form. All of that can be turned into documentaries or films to have an impact on a new generation,” he said.
R. E. Rogers particularly noted the enormous contribution of the Chinese people to the outcome of the war in the East, especially the unity and resilience of the Chinese people, who survived the conflict from 1931 to 1945 – a much longer period compared to the conflict in Europe.
He explained that the efforts of the Chinese people resonated across Asia. “It was a really tough moment in China’s history. It showed the resilience of the people at that time… Despite all the difficulties, they survived. I think that spirit of resilience motivates people not only in China but across the region,” the scholar said.
“China has set a powerful example, showing that despite external aggression and internal challenges, its people have been able to resist and remain resilient,” he added. –0–
