John Rabe

The film "John Rabe" (2009) tells the true story of German businessman John Rabe, who used his Nazi Party membership to create a protective International Safety Zone in Nanjing, China, helping to save over 200,000 Chinese from the Nanjing Massacre in late 1937 and early 1938. Ulrich Tukur stars as Rabe, alongside Steve Buscemi as Dr. Robert Wilson, with whom he forms an unlikely friendship amidst the chaos. The film follows Rabe's efforts to keep the innocent people safe, including Dr. Rosen (Daniel Brühl) and Mme. Dupres (Zhang Jingchu), who are part of the international committee established by Rabe.
