Extended data:

"During World War II, more than 20,000 Jews fled from Nazi-occupied Europe to take refuge in Shanghai, and my grandfather was one of them. Today we just want to say, thank you! " -A few days ago, Israel launched the public service propaganda film "Thank you Shanghai". Jews of different identities express "thank you" in their own way. The simple words not only express gratitude for friendship, but also pay tribute to human nature.

More than 70 years ago, the Nazis madly persecuted and slaughtered Jews. As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, when almost all cities closed their doors to Jews, Shanghai saved Jewish refugees with open arms. Until the Pacific War broke out in February 194 1, there were still about 25,000 Jewish refugees taking refuge in Shanghai.

According to the statistics of the Simon wiesenthal Center, a Nazi Holocaust research institution, this figure exceeded the sum of the five countries that accepted Jewish refugees at that time.

The incident of "protecting Jews" in Shanghai just shows the humanitarian power in the war. 1937 After the "August 13th Incident", many Shanghai residents themselves became refugees, but they are still overcoming difficulties and helping Jewish refugees.

"If we are thirsty, China people will give us water to drink. If we are hungry, they give us rice cakes to eat. Although our lives are not good, they are worse than us. "

In fact, from the moment when farmers in China gave their lives to rescue American pilots, to the moment when the Eighth Route Army generals rescued Japanese girls on the battlefield, from the moment when Japanese orphans were given a second life by Chinese mothers, to the moment when Japanese war criminals were captured and "led a normal life", the kindness of the China army and the people of China was in sharp contrast to the oppression, slaughter and tyranny created by fascism.

The Japanese invaders not only organized the Nanjing Massacre, but also tried their best to prevent the crime from leaking out. Inspired by the humanitarian spirit, German john rabe established the "Nanjing Safe Zone", protected more than 200,000 people in China, and recorded a criminal diary for future generations.

John Magee, an American, risked his life to film a 400-foot-long documentary about Japanese soldiers slaughtering Japanese people, and made more than 400 protests and reports to. Danish bernhard Sindberg not only protected about 20,000 people in China, but also provided news and food for international people engaged in humanitarian relief in Nanjing.

It can be said that the gathering of anti-fascist forces is closely related to the world's recognition and appeal to mankind, and it is also inseparable from the common enemy of fascism and anti-human behavior.

The world anti-fascist war is a war of humanity and anti-humanity, justice and injustice, aggression and anti-aggression. In wartime and even after the war, organized crimes against humanity committed by fascists have always existed as crimes that harm the justice of all mankind.

Post-war international law not only prevented aggression and anti-humanity, but all people who defend humanity and love peace have the right to liquidate this crime. Countries that once embarked on the fascist road can only achieve self-redemption and win the understanding of the world if they completely break away from the unjust line of the past and deeply reflect on the anti-humanity behavior.

People's Network-Commemorating World War II is also commemorating the victory of mankind.
