Summary Did a German Nazi save over 200,000 Chinese from being massacred by the Japanese?He is revered in China as a Buddha, as the 'Schindler of Nanking'. But his deeds have barely been recognised in the West. The German John Rabe, a Siemens manager and fervent admirer of the 'Fuehrer', saved the lives of more than 200,000 Chinese in 1937, when the occupying Japanese Army carried out mass shootings, rapes and brutal killings. Survivors and the descendents of the key participants talk about their painful memories of this tragic period. As It Happened: John Rabe: The Good Nazi of Nanking, takes a penetrating look at a man who was both profoundly humane and a Nazi.
