Er wird wegen seiner humanitären Verdienste um die chinesische Zivilbevölkerung im Zweiten Japanisch-Chinesischen Krieg auch als der „Oskar Schindler Chinas“, in US-amerikanischen Quellen als der „zweite Schindler“ und von Chinesen als der „deutsche lebende Buddha“ oder „der gute Deutsche von Nanjing“ bezeichnet.
John Heinrich Detlef Rabe (23 November 1882 – 5 January 1950) was a German businessman and Nazi Party member best known for his efforts to stop war crimes during the Japanese takeover of Nanjing (Nanking) and his work to protect and help Chinese civilians during the massacre that ensued. The Nanking Safety Zone, which he helped to establish, sheltered approximately 250,000 Chinese people from slaughter. He officially represented Germany and acted as senior chief of the European-U.S. establishment that remained in Nanjing, the Chinese capital at the time, when the city fell to the Japanese troops.
