Description

The Good Man of Nanking is a the most important document for understanding considered one of World War II’s most horrific incidents of genocide, one which the Japanese have steadfastly refused to acknowledge.  It is usually the moving and awe-inspiring record of one man’s sense of right and wrong, courage, and generosity within the face of appalling human brutality.

Until the contemporary emergence of John Rabe’s diaries, few people knew abouth the unassuming hero who has been known as the Oskar Schindler of China.  In Novemgber 1937, as Japanese troops overran the Chinese capital of Nanking and started a campaign of torture, rape, and murder against its citizens, one man-a German who had lived in China for thirty years and who used to be a loyal follower of Adolph Hitler-put himself at risk and with a view to save the lives of 200,000 poor Chinese, 600 of whom he sheltered in his own home.
