  • Courage Under the Reign of Terror Minnie Vautrin’S Efforts in Protecting Women Refugees from Japanese Atrocities During the Nanjing Massacre
    Courage under the Reign of Terror Minnie Vautrin’s Efforts in Protecting Women Refugees from Japanese Atrocities during the Nanjing Massacre by Suping Lu∗ Abstract: Nell'estate 1937 ebbe inizio la Seconda guerra Sino-giapponese. Mentre attraversavano la bassa valle dello Yangtze, le truppe giapponesi commisero atrocità che culminarono in dimensioni e crudeltà a Nanchino, dopo che la città fu conquistata e quando si verificarono in misura crescente esecuzioni di massa, stupri, saccheggi e incendi. Minnie Vautrin, una missionaria e insegnante americana nella città occupata, affrontò la situazione con grande coraggio. Il campus di Ginling, che essa dirigeva, venne trasformato in un centro di accoglienza per 10.000 donne e bambini che fuggivano terrorizzati e fornì loro cibo, riparo e protezione. Lavorò duramente e senza tregua, mettendo a rischio la sua stessa incolumità. Il suo coraggio nel regno del terrore fu tale che dopo la sua tragica morte fu ricordata come una divinità, la "dea" del massacro di Nanchino. The Nanjing Massacre A few weeks after the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) broke out near Beijing on July 7, 1937, hostilities spread down south to the Shanghai area. The August 9 Hongqiao Airfield Incident, in which two Japanese marines and one Chinese soldier were killed, built up tensions between the Chinese and Japanese. Alleging that Chinese snipers fired at Japanese patrols, the Japanese launched small-scaled attacks on Chinese positions on August 13 morning. Sporadic skirmishes then escalated to battles as both sides rushed in more reinforcements. The following days witnessed four Chinese divisions and several thousand Japanese marines engaged in street fighting in Shanghai.

  • Minnie Vautrin 1886-1941 USA
    Minnie Vautrin 1886-1941 USA Minnie Vautrin was born in Secor, Illinois on September 27, 1886. She graduated from the Department of Education at University of Illinois with high honours in 1912. She was commissioned by the United Christ Missionary Society as a missionary to China, and moved to Nanking in 1912. She became chair of the education department at Ginling College when it was founded in 1916, the first university granting bachelor’s degrees to female students in China. Vautrin devoted her adult life to the education of Chinese women at Ginling College in Nanking and to helping the poor. When most of the faculty left Nanjing in December 1937, afraid of the invading Japanese forces, Vautrin became acting Dean of Ginling and took charge of the campus for the duration of the Japanese siege and the massacre. There were many teachers, students and thousands of people who could not leave, and she voluntarily stayed for four and a half months. During the massacre, Vautrin turned the College into a sanctuary for 10,000 women and worked tirelessly to help establish the Nanking Safety Zone. Her diary, like that of the International Committee for the Nanking Safety Zone Chair John Rabe’s, is a primary source of information on the Japanese atrocities in Nanking. She kept a 526-page diary covering the period from 1937 to 1941. About one-fourth of her diary documents the period of the Nanking Massacre from December 1937 to March 1938. Weary and stressed from the emotional strain of the massacre, she had a nervous breakdown in May 1940 and had to return to the United States for medical treatment.

  • The Rape of Nanjing: Is an Unbiased Representation Possible?
    The Rape of Nanjing: Is an Unbiased Representation Possible? by Heather M. Downing Thesis submitted to the Honors Program, Saint Peter's College May 17, 2011 Heather M. Downing Downing 1 Abstract In the years leading up to and including World War II, the Japanese invaded China, committing war crimes and atrocities that some say rivaled those committed by the German National Socialist (Nazi) Party in Europe. However, due to a number of factors following the end of World War II, many conflicting points of view about Nanjing have arisen, including views from Japanese ultranationalists, Chinese victims and their descendants, and from other outside parties, including Americans and Europeans. In the present day, the evidence and the different testimonies of what may have happened in Nanjing have become so convoluted that it would be impossible to come up with a purely factual, unbiased historical account of the events in Nanjing during the Japanese invasion on December 13, 1937 and the weeks leading up to and following that invasion. By looking at some of the most popular sources and references pertaining to the Nanjing Massacre, one can assess just how disputed the topic has become and how truly impossible it is for historians to arrive at a single, agreed upon history of the event.

    NANJING ECHO: ILLUSION, SUBTERFUGE AND PUBLIC RELATIONS IN THE ‘RAPE OF NANKING' DEBATE Randy Hopkins Portland, Oregon [email protected] November 17, 2017 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 The Camouflaged Hand of Japan’s Foreign Ministry 1 “Modern, Objective and Scientific Historiography” 3 Joshua Fogel and “Controversy” 4 Hata Ikuhiko’s “Fact and Fable” and the “Great Massacre” 15 Alvin Coox and “Waking Old Wounds” 29 Conclusion 38 Appendix (Hata’s Errata List) 41 copyright @ Randy Hopkins, 2017 Introduction December 13, 2017 marks the 80th Anniversary of the Japanese Imperial Army’s seizure of Nanjing, then capital of Nationalist China. What occurred next, with alleged weeks of mass executions, rapes, torture, looting and arson, is steeped in controversy and poisons relations be- tween China, Japan and their peoples to this day. This year is also the 20th Anniversary of Iris Chang’s The Rape of Nanking: The Forgot- ten Holocaust of World War II (New York: Basic Books, 1997) (“The Rape of Nanking”). Weav- ing contemporaneous letters and diaries, government intelligence reports, war crime investiga- tions and testimony with modern oral history, The Rape of Nanking was a, if not the J’accuse …! of the 20th Century. The Rape of Nanking arrived at a time when events at Nanjing had largely been forgotten in the English language West. That could no longer be said after the book’s ap- pearance. Chang’s book achieved remarkable sales and was showered with praise from leading academic historians and others. Chang herself, a mere 29 years of age when the book was pub- lished, was feted at book signings and other public events.
