Anne Frank's diary is well-known. Do you know John Rabe's diary? Although he was a German but he saved a lot of Chinese when he was in Nanjing, China. After World War II, John Rabe had a suffering life because he was a Nazi before. And Nanjing people donated money for him and they sent him food every month so that he and his family could have a better living conditions. And if he preferred, he could live in China with good conditions and all were free for him. It is sad for him to suffer this unfair treatment after World War II. He died because of the stroke at last.

I don't know why but it seems he is less famous. You can search his information via the net.

I haven't heard of this man. It is good that the people of Nanjing didn't forget him.
