Thomas Rabe carries on the legacy of the 'Good Man of Nanjing'

Thomas Rabe, grandson of John Rabe, continues his grandfather’s legacy by preserving historical memory and promoting Sino-German humanitarian and medical collaboration in 2025.
His efforts build on John Rabe's protection of over 200,000 Chinese during the 1937-1938 Nanjing Massacre, documented in diaries donated by Thomas to Chinese archives in 2016-2017.
Thomas Rabe spent more than a decade compiling and editing a collection of historical photos and documents, culminating in a volume titled "Rabe and China," which was released the previous year and highlights the longstanding connection between his family and China, while also promoting a message of peace.
He stated, "The world needs peace," supports a shared human future, and pledged all book royalties to the John Rabe Communication Center, which is expanding with new centers and educational projects.
Rabe’s collaborations with Chinese professors and partners, spanning over two decades, ensure ongoing cultural and medical exchanges while preparing for his son Maximilian to continue this work.
