An exhibition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Bernhard Arp Sindberg from Denmark was held in Nanjing Wednesday. Sindberg, who was born in Feb. 19, 1911, protected thousands of Chinese civilians from slaughter by invading Japanese troops during the 1937 Nanjing Massacre which Japanese troops murdered more than 300,000 Chinese people, including Su Guobao, who was then only 12 years old.
