It is difficult to even imagine that people were capable of such evil, but it good to know so we can learn from it. Used good paperback. Rabe had the opportunity to run as the Imperial Japanese army turned Nanjing into hell on earth, to hunker down in his villa and do nothing as thousands died around him.

Unser Gast ist heute Dr. Erwin Wickert, Ex-Botschafter, Schriftsteller und eine Art Weltreisender – aber darauf werden wir gleich zu sprechen kommen. Willkommen, Herr Wickert, und vielen Dank, daß Sie den Weg zu uns nach München auf sich genommen haben. Wenn man sich Ihr langes Leben ansieht, Sie sind nun 84 Jahre alt, und ein wenig in Ihrer Autobiographie liest, deren ersten Teil Sie ja auch schon geschrieben haben, dann entdeckt man darin eine ganze Menge von interessanten Berufen und Stationen. Vielleicht erzählen Sie einfach einmal schlagwortartig, was Sie alles gemacht haben in Ihren jungen Jahren und wo Sie überall gewesen sind. Wickert: Ich muß sagen, daß ich ein sehr neugieriger Mensch bin. Mein Ideal vom zwölften oder dreizehnten Lebensjahr an bestand darin, ein literarisches Werk etwa vom Umfang und von der Tiefe her ähnlich dem von Karl May zu schreiben. Stark: Karl May war also ein Vorbild. Wickert: Ja, er war ein Vorbild. Er ist ja auch sehr viel herumgekommen in der Welt. Ich habe mich ebenfalls mit Freude in der Welt herumgetrieben, wie ich sagen möchte. Ich bin nach meiner Schulzeit und den ersten beiden Semestern in Berlin als Austauschstudent nach Amerika gegangen. Ich habe dort dann nach meinem Studium der Volkswirtschaft und der politischen Wissenschaft in verschiedenen Berufen gearbeitet – u.

  • The Nanjing Incident: an Exam Ination of the Civilian Population
    The Nanjing Incident: An Exam ination of the Civilian Population David Askew Monash University 1. Introduction This paper will attempt to set the parameters for any future debate about one aspect ofthe Nanjing (Nanking) Incident by establishing the number ofChinese civilians in the city when it fell on December 13, 1937 ,1 Once the total number has been established, a second paper will set out the author's estimates of the total civilian death toll in and around Nanjing, This paper focuses on the primary documentary sources." Where the civilian population is' concerned, official documents and the recent discovery and subsequent publication of John Rabe's diary) now make it possible to give a confident estimate for when the city fell and for the first crucial weeks of the Japanese occupation. The conclusion drawn from the various primary sources is that the civilian population ofNanjing was 200,000 in the weeks leading up to the fall ofthe city; that it remained 200,000 for the first 4 weeks ofthe occupation; and that it increased to 250,000 by January 10, 1938. This paper will also argue that the closest estimate of the population that can be made is 224,500 as ofDecember 24, 1937 to January 5, 1938. Section 2 examines the civilian population on the basis of the primary documentary sources and compares the findings. with Rabe's diary Section 3 emphasizes the importance of Smythe's sampling survey. Section 4 briefly looks at the Japanese registration ofthe population of Nanjing. Finally, section 5 introduces both the various estimates of the population of the city made by Western journalists before the city fell and the estimates made in the letters and diary entries of various members of the International Committee.

  • Representations of the Nanjing Massacre in Chinese American Literature
    ABSTRACT PERPETRATORS, RESCUERS, SCAPEGOATS, AND SECONDARY WITNESSES: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE NANJING MASSACRE IN CHINESE AMERICAN LITERATURE Xiaoling Zhang, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Ibis Gόmez-Vega, Director This research probes into the representations of the Nanjing Massacre in Chinese American literature, in particular Shouhua Qi’s When the Purple Mountain Burns, Ha Jin’s Nanjing Requiem, Geling Yan’s The Flowers of War, and Wing Tek Lum’s The Nanjing Massacre: Poems. In light of René Girard’s theories of violence, in particular his ideas of a circle of violence, mimetic desire, sacrificial substitution, and myth as connected with stereotypes of persecution, this research diagnoses the terrors and horrors depicted in the above-mentioned texts and argues that the Nanjing Massacre as represented in Chinese American literature is no ordinary act of war, but sheer violence—violence taking innocent civilians and surrendered soldiers as scapegoats. Focusing on how each text addresses violence through the lens of perpetrators, rescuers, scapegoats, and secondary witnesses, this research concludes that the surge of the Nanjing Massacre texts at the beginning of the twenty-first century is the collective efforts of Chinese American writers, who are concerned about the witnessing crisis of the Nanjing Massacre and wish to reconstruct the forgotten history by drawing a panoramic view of the intensity and scale of violence borne in this catastrophe.

Abstract This paper centers on John Rabe, a German businessman and Nazi, who, according to several historians, helped save roughly 250,000 lives during the Rape of Nanking. He did this by establishing and serving as director of the “International Safety Zone.” This paper’s research question is how did Rabe reconcile his Nazi beliefs with his heroic actions during the massacre? This paper will argue that Rabe’s heroic actions were not inconsistent with his membership in the Nazi Party.

    Volume 13, No 1, Spring 2018 ISSN 1932-1066 Reminiscences of Japan Gerhard G. Knauss Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany [email protected] Abstract: In diary format, Gerhard Knauss recollects the circumstances leading to his acceptance of a teaching position at Tohoku University right in the aftermath of World War II. The narrative recounts first-person experiences related to the cultural differences between and similarities of Germany and Japan in their coming to terms with a lost war. The relevance and impact of German cultural and intellectual life and industrial production, and the interference by the Allied powers are rendered in a manner that adds additional insight to officially recorded historical accounts.

  • Neugier Und Übermut
    ULRICH WICKERT Neugier und Übermut 15775_Wickert_Neugier.indd 1 17.12.2013 15:56:49 Buch »Es wird eine japanische Fee gewesen sein, die mir Neugier und Übermut in die Wiege legte«, sagt Ulrich Wickert. Denn: als Sohn eines Diplomaten in Tokio geboren, am Fuß des Fuji aufgewachsen, in Paris zur Schule gegangen, in den USA studiert, wurde sein Blick für Neues früh geschärft. Schon als Kind hat er gelernt, auf Menschen zuzugehen. Journalist ist er wohl geworden, weil er, ohne aufdringlich zu wirken, Menschen treffen konnte, die ihn interessierten und bewegten. Er erzählt von seinen Begegnungen mit den Kanzlern der Bun- desrepublik und Politikern aus aller Welt, von schwierigen Verabredungen mit dem Philosophen Herbert Marcuse, mit dem er den einzigen Dokumentarfilm drehte, der je über dessen Leben produziert wurde, und vom Bruder des letzten Kaisers von China, Pujie, der ihm in der Verbotenen Stadt in Peking zeigte, wo der Kaiser Fahrrad fuhr. Bill Cody, der Enkel von Buffalo Bill, überredete ihn zu einem zehntägigen Ritt durch die Rocky Mountains, mit Arthur Miller spielte er auf dem Tennisplatz von Dustin Hoffman, und mit Hilfe von dessen Leibwäch- tern bekam er eine Einladung zu einem privaten Abendessen mit Bill Clinton. Autor Ulrich Wickert, geboren 1942, ist einer der bekanntesten Journalisten Deutsch- lands. Als Korrespondent in den USA und Frankreich, als langjähriger An- chorman der Tagesthemen hat er das Fernsehbild der Deutschen geprägt. Mit seinen Bestsellern »Der Ehrliche ist der Dumme«, »Das Buch der Tugenden« und »Gauner muss man Gauner nennen« hat er die Wertedebatte immer wieder angestoßen. Auch seine Bücher über Frankreich und seine Kriminalromane mit dem Untersuchungsrichter Jacques Ricou waren Bestseller.
