Side by Side: Foreign volunteers in China's anti-fascist struggle

03:04

When the guns of fascism were aimed at the East, they stepped forward. They were pilots, doctors, journalists and workers – people from across the world who chose to stand with the Chinese people. Their figures moved through the smoke of war, and their names were etched into China's memory: Soviet Air Force volunteers, the Flying Tigers, John Rabe, Bernhard Sindberg, Norman Bethune, Dwarkanath Kotnis, Richard Frey, George Hatem, Hans Shippe. Looking back on history, we honor peace – and those who lit the light of hope in humanity's darkest hour.
