@cryptadamist Even crazier is tue story of #JohnRabe (which isn't taught about in #Germany!) Who as #Ambassador for #NaziGermany basically pissed off #Japan by intervening in #Nanking and saving several Chinese lives.

  • Lets just say he's a kinda weird exception of the norm...

The Good Man of Nanking is a crucial document for understanding one of World War II's most horrific incidents of genocide, one which the Japanese have steadfastly refused to acknowledge. It is also the moving and awe-inspiring record of one man's conscience, courage, and generosity in the face of appalling human brutality.
