Witness History: Archive 2014 - Taiwan '228 Incident'

In early 1947 Chinese nationalist troops under Chiang Kai-Shek killed 20,000 civilians in Taiwan. Local Taiwanese had been protesting about abuses by the newly installed Kuomintang government. We hear the story of one boy who witnessed the killings.
