Synopsis
This documentary recollects the story of John Rabe from Hamburg, business man and member of the NSDAP, who worked for the German company Siemens in Nanking, China, during the 1930s. When Japanese troops conquered the city in 1937, he saved numerous children from a massacre that cost 300.000 lives. While his actions were harshly criticised in Nazi Germany, John Rabe remains a true hero for the Chinese people until today. Director Raymond Ley tells of the horrors of the massacre and of Rabe´s lonely end in Berlin in 1950.
