TOKYO, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Japanese archives in Tokyo opened an exhibit on war time atrocities Monday, including details of women forced into sexual slavery.
Photos of 140 "comfort women", a name used for women forced to have sex with Japanese soldiers during World War II, and artifacts about them were being prepared for viewing since 2002, the Chinese state news agency Xinhua reports.
