History should not be forgotten, and the backward will be beaten

Although the movie "Rabe's Diary" did not depict many scenes of the atrocities of the Japanese army, a large number of soldiers who came out of the safe area were shot and killed, and the bloody scene of the Japanese army's beheading of hundreds of people was still shocking, and then felt anger and shame. Rabe initially had unrealistic fantasies about the Japanese army, but by witnessing the brutality of the Japanese army with his own eyes, he finally recognized the ugly face of the Chinese people who regarded the Chinese people like a mustard. The ability to keep the safe area from being destroyed by the vicious Japanese army is the result of the Chinese people's swearing-to-death struggle, and it is also the result of the wise and resourceful struggle of Rabe and his like-minded comrades.

The bloody history cannot be forgotten, and the scars cannot be healed and the pain is forgotten.

  • John Rabe: To the Führer of the German people. Chancellor Adolf Hitler. My Führer. As a loyal party member and upstanding German. I turn to you in a time of great need. The Japanese Imperial troops conquered the city of Nanking on December 12, 1937. Since then I have witnessed atrocious crimes against civilians. Please help to end this catastrophe and make an appeal to our Japanese allies in the name of humanity. With a German salute.
