Stories shared by Xi Jinping | Diaries of John Rabe
A story shared by Xi Jinping: John Rabe is widely respected as a hero in China.
The German businessman is recognized for saving tens of thousands of lives during a heinous massacre by invading Japanese troops in the late 1930s.
And his diaries offer a rare account of the atrocities committed by the invaders.
John Rabe: The Good Nazi
What would you think of a man who supported the greatest mass-murder machine in human history? A man who was proud to stand by a genocidal dictator who nearly destroyed Europe; a man proud to call himself a Nazi? Would you find him sickening, evil? Maybe not if he was John Rabe. A high-ranking Nazi, Rabe was an ardent supporter of Adolf Hitler. But he was also something else. He was perhaps the greatest humanitarian you’ve never heard of.

Horrific Scenes Still Haunt Nanjing Massacre Survivor
The horrific scenes of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre still haunt those who survived, while they live each day with the hope that the Japanese government will someday apologize for slaughtering their loved ones.
More than 300,000 Chinese were killed inhumanly by the Japanese troops in Nanjing between December 13, 1937 and January 1938.
Less than 100 documented survivors of the Nanjing Massacre are still alive. Yang Cuiying, 93, is one of them, and she still hasn’t been able to get rid of the dark hours when she lost her family right in front of her eyes.
During a period when the city got continuously bombed by the Japanese troops, the then capital Nanjing was relocated to southwest China’s Chongqing. While the rich fled, those with no money and nowhere else to go stayed back and gathered at the city's refugee camps.
On December 13, 1937, Japanese troops invaded the camps and slaughtered those living inside with rifles and bayonets, Yang recalled.
I was only 12; I was young. My father was only in his thirties. I asked my father to hold my baby brother, and I knelt down in front of the Japanese begging not to kill my father. They hit me and I lost my hearing ability in one ear. Their rifles were this long, with a bayonet attached; that was what they killed my father with, recalled Yang with a heavy voice.
Yang lost even her little brother during the massacre.
And then, they killed my uncle, and my grandfather as well. They stomped my baby brother to death with their big leather boots. He was only two years old. The streets were filled with dead bodies. They killed everyone, more than 300,000 civilians, said Yang.
Five days after Yang's father was killed, her mother gave birth to a baby. The Japanese burned down their old house, leaving them with no food. As a result, the baby starved to death and her mother turned blind from crying day and night.
In an effort to save her family from starvation, Yang soon started working in a Japanese factory - sewing buttons for 12 hours a day. Talking with a fellow worker would only result in beating. They were given quarter of a kilogram of rice and quarter of a kilogram of dried sea buckthorns as their daily wage. She was still at work on August 15, 1945, the day Japan surrendered.
Yang who has lived all her life with the hope that someday Japanese government will make an official apology looks at it as a consolation.
We suffered all the miseries that were there. Our families were killed; and those who survived suffered as well. I can’t forget. I struggle to hold back my tears whenever I think of my father, said Yang.
Yang wants to live just to hear Japan apologize for their brutal killings.
I'm 93 years old now. I don't know if I will live to hear that, she said.

History of China
The Nanking Massacre: Iris Chang on the Controversy, Causes, Casualties, Denial (1998)
The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II is a bestselling 1997 non-fiction book written by Iris Chang. About the book:
It is about the 1937--1938 Nanking Massacre, the massacre and atrocities committed by the Imperial Japanese Army after it captured Nanjing, then capital of China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It describes the events leading up to the Nanking Massacre and the atrocities that were committed. The book presents the view that the Japanese government has not done enough to redress the atrocities. It is one of the first major English-language books to introduce the Nanking Massacre to Western and Eastern readers alike, and has been translated into several languages.
The book was a source of fame for Chang but was also controversial; it was received with both acclaim and criticism by the public and by academics. It has been praised as a work that shows more clearly than any previous account the extent and brutality of the episode, while at the same time it was criticized as seriously flawed and full of misinformation and harebrained explanations. Chang's research on the book was credited with the finding of the diaries of John Rabe and Minnie Vautrin, both of whom played important roles in the Nanking Safety Zone, a designated area in Nanjing that protected Chinese civilians during the Nanking Massacre.
The book prompted AOL executive Ted Leonsis to fund and produce Nanking, a 2007 documentary film about the Nanking Massacre.
Chang spent two years on research for the book. She found that raw source materials were available in the US, contained in the diaries, films, and photographs of American missionaries, journalists, and military officers who were in Nanjing at the time of the Nanking Massacre. Additionally, she traveled to Nanjing to interview survivors of the Nanking Massacre and to read Chinese accounts and confessions by Japanese army veterans. Chang did not, however, conduct research in Japan, and this left her vulnerable to criticisms on how she portrayed modern Japan in the context of how it deals with its World War II past.
Chang's research led her to make what one San Francisco Chronicle article called significant discoveries on the subject of the Nanking Massacre, in the forms of the diaries of two Westerners that were in Nanjing leading efforts to save lives during the Japanese invasion. One diary was that of John Rabe, a German Nazi Party member who was the leader of the Nanking Safety Zone, a demilitarized zone in Nanjing that Rabe and other Westerners set up to protect Chinese civilians. The other diary belonged to Minnie Vautrin, the American missionary who saved the lives of about 10,000 women and children when she provided them with shelter in Ginling College. The diaries documented the events of the Nanking Massacre from the perspectives of their writers, and provided detailed accounts of atrocities that they saw, as well as information surrounding the circumstances of the Nanking Safety Zone. Chang dubbed Rabe the Oskar Schindler of Nanking and Vautrin the Anne Frank of Nanking. Rabe's diary is over 800 pages, and contains one of the most detailed accounts of the Nanking Massacre. Translated into English, it was published in 1998 by Random House as The Good Man of Nanking: The Diaries of John Rabe. Vautrin's diary recounts her personal experience and feelings on the Nanking Massacre; in it, an entry reads, There probably is no crime that has not been committed in this city today. It was used as source material by Hua-ling Hu for a biography of Vautrin and her role during the Nanking Massacre, entitled American Goddess at the Rape of Nanking: The Courage of Minnie Vautrin.
The Rape of Nanking is structured into three main parts. The first uses a technique that Chang called the Rashomon perspective to narrate the events of the Nanking Massacre, from three different perspectives: that of the Japanese military, the Chinese victims, and the Westerners who tried to help Chinese civilians. The second part concerns the postwar reaction to the massacre, especially that of the American and European governments. The third part of the book examines the circumstances that, Chang believed, have kept knowledge of the massacre out of public consciousness decades after the war.

Film of the Nanking Refugee Zone
150 Japanese journalists, cameramen and others entered Nanking with the Japanese army so there are many photos, articles and movies providing evidence that there was no 'Nanking Massacre', but the International Military Tribunal for the Far East could not accept those as evidence. That shows the extent to which the tribunal was a kangaroo court of the victor countries.
This is a film of the Nanking Refugee Zone which zone was created for fleeing Nanking citizens.
It was legal for the Japanese army as an occupier to enter the zone. Members of the Chinese army shed their uniforms and illegally stored arms in the zone so the Japanese army legally mopped up the Chinese soldiers. The film was taken after the mop-up.
The so-called 'Nanking Massacre' where the Japanese army is said to have butchered and raped the citizens appearing in the film is a myth.
In this film Japanese are doing electrical line repair, road repair and other restoration work.
As an occupier, Japan had the responsibility to support public order and to stabilize the civil government.
The poster was likely put up by the Japanese army's pacification unit.
The role of the pacification unit was to communicate the aims and policies of Japan which would provide relief to the people in the occupied territory and to contribute to the maintenance of public order.
日本軍とともに、日本の１５０人の新聞記者やカメラマンも(南京に)同行しましたから、南京大虐殺はなかった証拠と なる数多くの写真、記事、動画がありますが、極東国際軍事裁判ではそれらは証拠として受け入れられませんでした。それほど、この裁判は戦勝国によるカンガ ルー裁判だったのです。この映像は南京の市民が避難するために作られた、難民区のフィルムです。
占領した日本軍が(難民区の)中に入ったのは合法です。 中国軍は軍服を脱いで多くの武器を備えてその中に違法に潜伏していましたので、日本軍は中国兵を合法的に掃蕩しました。このフィルムはその後の状況です。 いわゆる南京大虐殺説は、日本軍がここに映っている市民たちを虐殺、強姦、強奪の限りを尽くしたという虚構です。

Chinese Hero Sniper. Nanking 1937 - Part 2
RAPE
The International Military Tribunal for the Far East estimated that 20,000 women were raped, including infants and the elderly.A large portion of these rapes were systematized in a process where soldiers would search door-to-door for young girls, with many women taken captive and gang raped.The women were often killed immediately after being raped, often through explicit mutilation or by stabbing a bayonet, long stick of bamboo, or other objects into the vagina. Young children were not exempt from these atrocities, and were cut open to allow Japanese soldiers to rape them.
On 19 December 1937, Reverend James M. McCallum wrote in his diary:
I know not where to end. Never I have heard or read such brutality. Rape! Rape! Rape! We estimate at least 1,000 cases a night, and many by day. In case of resistance or anything that seems like disapproval, there is a bayonet stab or a bullet ... People are hysterical ... Women are being carried off every morning, afternoon and evening. The whole Japanese army seems to be free to go and come as it pleases, and to do whatever it pleases.
On March 7, 1938, Robert O. Wilson, a surgeon at the American-administered University Hospital in the Safety Zone, wrote in a letter to his family, a conservative estimate of people slaughtered in cold blood is somewhere about 100,000, including of course thousands of soldiers that had thrown down their arms.
Here are two excerpts from his letters of 15 and 18 December 1937 to his family:
The slaughter of civilians is appalling. I could go on for pages telling of cases of rape and brutality almost beyond belief. Two bayoneted corpses are the only survivors of seven street cleaners who were sitting in their headquarters when Japanese soldiers came in without warning or reason and killed five of their number and wounded the two that found their way to the hospital.
Let me recount some instances occurring in the last two days. Last night the house of one of the Chinese staff members of the university was broken into and two of the women, his relatives, were raped. Two girls, about 16, were raped to death in one of the refugee camps. In the University Middle School where there are 8,000 people the Japs came in ten times last night, over the wall, stole food, clothing, and raped until they were satisfied. They bayoneted one little boy of eight who have [sic] five bayonet wounds including one that penetrated his stomach, a portion of omentum was outside the abdomen. I think he will live.
In his diary kept during the aggression to the city and its occupation by the Imperial Japanese Army, the leader of the Safety Zone, John Rabe, wrote many comments about Japanese atrocities. For 17 December:
Two Japanese soldiers have climbed over the garden wall and are about to break into our house. When I appear they give the excuse that they saw two Chinese soldiers climb over the wall. When I show them my party badge, they return the same way. In one of the houses in the narrow street behind my garden wall, a woman was raped, and then wounded in the neck with a bayonet. I managed to get an ambulance so we can take her to Kulou Hospital ... Last night up to 1,000 women and girls are said to have been raped, about 100 girls at Ginling College Girls alone. You hear nothing but rape. If husbands or brothers intervene, they're shot. What you hear and see on all sides is the brutality and bestiality of the Japanese soldiers.
There are also accounts of Japanese troops forcing families to commit acts of incest.Sons were forced to rape their mothers, fathers were forced to rape daughters. One pregnant woman who was gang-raped by Japanese soldiers gave birth only a few hours later; although the baby appeared to be physically unharmed (Robert B. Edgerton, Warriors of the Rising Sun). Monks who had declared a life of celibacy were also forced to rape women

SUMMARY
=======
The Nanjing Massacre, or Rape of Nanjing, was an episode of mass murder and mass rape committed by Japanese troops against the residents of Nanjing (Nanking), then the capital of the Republic of China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. In the Postal romanization system used at the time, the city's name was transliterated as Nanking, and the event called the Nanking Massacre or Rape of Nanking.
The massacre occurred over a period of six weeks starting on December 13, 1937, the day that the Japanese captured Nanjing. During this period, soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army murdered Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants who numbered an estimated 40,000 to over 300,000, and perpetrated widespread rape and looting.Since most Japanese military records on the killings were kept secret or destroyed shortly after the surrender of Japan in 1945, historians have been unable to accurately estimate the death toll of the massacre. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo estimated in 1946 that over 200,000 Chinese were killed in the incident. China's official estimate is more than 300,000 dead based on the evaluation of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal in 1947. The death toll has been actively contested among scholars since the 1980s.The event remains a contentious political issue and a stumbling block in Sino-Japanese relations. The Chinese government has been accused of exaggerating aspects of the massacre such as the death toll, while historical negationists and Japanese nationalists go as far as claiming the massacre was fabricated for propaganda purposes. The controversy surrounding the massacre remains a central issue in Japanese relations with other Asia-Pacific nations as well, such as South Korea.Although the Japanese government has admitted to the killing of a large number of non-combatants, looting, and other violence committed by the Imperial Japanese Army after the fall of Nanjing, and Japanese veterans who served there have confirmed that a massacre took place, a small but vocal minority within both the Japanese government and society have argued that the death toll was military in nature and that no such crimes ever occurred. Denial of the massacre and revisionist accounts of the killings have become a staple of Japanese nationalism. In Japan, public opinion of the massacre varies, but few deny outright that the event occurred.

テレビニュース英訳
Reporter: He re-confirmed that there was not such a thing as the Nanjing Massacre.
Mayor Kawamura Takashi: Regular fighting did happen, and it is true that quite a few Chinese people were killed, but there were no such massacres as the Nanjing Massacre.
Mayor Kawamura made a flat denial of the Nanjing Massacre to the representatives of Nanking city who visited the Nagoya city hall the day before yesterday. Nanking city made it clear that she would temporarily stop cultural and sports exchanges that were planned in March. Mayor Kawamura said, We have to make it clear to the communists. If I was wrong, I would take any criticisms and apologize, adding his wish that he would like a discussion with Nanking citizens.
河村発言を擁護する否定派の大御所石原慎太郎東京都知事
Mayor of Tokyo, denying the Nanjing Massacre
発言英訳
Mayor Ishihara Shintaro: Oh, Nanking . I think Mayor Kawamura said the right thing. There was a foolish Asahi Shimbun reporter named Honda Katsuichi. He finally admitted it wrong. During such a short time of occupation of Nanking it is quite impossible to kill 400,000 people. In addition, two days after the fall of Nanking, such representative Japanese writers as Hayashi Fumiko, Ishikawa Tatsuzo, and Oya Soichi entered Nanking as reporters. Hayashi-san passed away and I have not had much contact with her, but I know the others. Ishikawa Tatsuzo was a rather anti-government writer and Oya Soichi was a severe critic. I heard from their own mouths that they couldn't believe the massacre happened because although they did see dead bodies scattered here and there they didn't see a pile of them like a mountain.
I remember Honda Katsuichi saying, From the moment the Japanese army landed on Koshu Wan Bay until the occupation of Nanking there were 400,000 people killed.
It's hardly possible to believe that such a poorly furnished Japanese army can physically kill 400,000 people in such a short period of time even if the Chinese soldiers were poorly trained.
In such a confusion of war I think it may be possible that the Japanese army killed some, but mentioning 400,000 victims is outrageous nonsense. It is quite wrong. I know it because we have examined it time and time again. Kawamura is my junior and I know he is rather a rude person, and I don't know the grounds on which he denied it, but I'd like to defend him on this issue.
