It was named in honor of Sun-Yat Sen for his contributions to the Chinese Revolution of 1911 as well as his friendly stance toward the Soviet Union at the time. Students there were taught basic principles of Marxism and Leninism, as well as propaganda and mobilization techniques in theory and practice. Famous graduates included Deng Xiaoping, leader of the People’s Republic of China in the 1980s, and Chiang Ching-kuo, leader of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in the 1970s and son of Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek, among many others who would be influential in politics in China. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here.
