See post 17, above.

Did you know that after the war, things got so bad for John Rabe and his family during de-Nazification that they had begun to eat WEEDS..?

And apparently he had made such an impression on Nankingers —then still verrrry poor— that the Nanking authorities sent a delegration, which smuggled food from Switzlerand to Germany, to save his whole family..?

A really amazing bit of history.

Both John Rabe and Oscar Schindler died essentially broke. In a fair world, things should have worked out much better for them.
