of the war between China and Japan, China said: Japan invaded me. Japan said: I did not invade China, we sent troops to help China at that time. real.
Fortunately, there is a third party like Rabe who should have nothing to do with it, and diligently recorded what he saw and heard at that time. The specifics are true, the photos are complete, the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.
However, Japan's attitude is also very clear: the movie version of "Rabe Diary" won a complete ban in Japan.
Looking back, the response of "Rabe Diary" in China is also relatively indifferent.
Many people say that Rabe is "China's Schindler". They do have something in common. But here I just want to talk a little about the differences between Rabe and Schindler.
First. At that time, Rabe was an employee of Germany's Siemens who was sent to China, and was paid Siemens' dead salary. He had no interest in saving his Chinese compatriots at all. In fact, it is the first choice for him to hang up and watch from the sidelines.
And Schindler was a businessman who made arms in Germany. He rescued the Jews and accepted them as his employees, and could profit from the labor of these people. Then he made arms to supply to Germany, from which he gained more privileges and money.
second. The Nanjing Safety Zone built by Rabe accommodated 200,000 Chinese people to take refuge here. provide them with room and board. and under enormous pressure. Without Rabe, the Nanjing Massacre would have likely added 200,000 more victims.
Schindler rescued more than 2,000 Jews. Some historical sources say there are more than 1,000. No matter how many people it is. It's a far cry from 200,000.
third. Rabe donated his life savings while building a shelter in China.
Schindler made a fortune in the war. Luxury, entertainment, alcoholism, femininity. Flirtatious.
fourth. Rabe's rescue of the Chinese people has always been self-conscious and spontaneous.
And Schindler, until the matter was over and everyone took off their hats to salute him, did he realize a little bit of conscience, regretting why he didn't rescue a few more Jews in the first place?
fifth. Because Germany and Japan were allies, Rabe's speech and diary were unfairly treated when he returned to Germany. And all his money was donated in China. Rabe later died in poverty.
Schindler enjoyed all the glory and wealth. . . . But in the end, because of the end of the war, his factory also closed down. Because he is an arms dealer. . .
sixth. Many Chinese still don't know who Rabe is.
The Jewish people, and even the whole world, cherish the memory of Schindler.
