  • 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.

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.
