Honoring the courageous actions of Minnie Vautrin during the Rape of

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
SEPTEMBER 27, 2006 
Mr. HONDA (for himself, Mr. EVANS, Mr. LIPINSKI, Mr. MCDERMOTT, Mr. 
HYDE, Ms. SCHAKOWSKY, Mr. JACKSON of Illinois, Ms. ZOE LOFGREN 
of California, Mr. TOWNS, Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania, Mr. CONYERS,

following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Government 
Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring the courageous actions of Minnie Vautrin during 
the Rape of Nanking during World War II. 
Whereas the Japanese Army’s invasion and occupation of 
Nanking, China, in 1937 is historically known as the 
‘‘Rape of Nanking’’; 
Whereas during that tragic atrocity, an estimated 300,000 
innocent Chinese civilians were killed by the Japanese 
army and over 20,000 were raped, with some estimates 
as high as 80,000; 
Whereas Minnie Vautrin was born on September 27, 1886 in 
Secor, Illinois;

•HRES 1048 IH 
Whereas in 1912, Miss Vautrin went to China as a mis-
sionary and educator and while there served on the fac-
ulty of Ginling College in Nanking for more than 20 
years; 
Whereas when the Japanese army invaded Nanking on De-
cember 13, 1937, Miss Vautrin, and the other few non- 
Chinese people in the city who refused to evacuate, 
worked to protect the civilians who were mostly women 
and children; 
Whereas by using the American flag and obtaining proclama-
tions from the American Embassy in China maintaining 
Ginling College as a sanctuary, Miss Vautrin repelled in-
cursions into the campus; 
Whereas Miss Vautrin risked her own life and valiantly pro-
tected over 10,000 women and children in Ginling from 
the Japanese army; and 
Whereas survivors of the Rape of Nanking were so grateful 
to Miss Vautrin that they gave her the names ‘‘Living 
Goddess’’ and ‘‘Goddess of Mercy’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That Congress honors— 
(1) Minnie Vautrin’s commitment to education 
and humanitarianism and to saving thousands of 
lives; and 
(2) Miss Vautrin’s sacrifice, courage, humanity, 
and commitment to peace, mercy, hope, and justice 
during the violent Rape of Nanking.
