抗日战争时期,八路军总政治部曾在延安建立了一所日本工农学校,这个学校是为了对被俘的日本官兵进行政治理论教育而设立的。从1941年正式成立到1945年抗日战争胜利时结束,前后五年间,这个学校培养了一批为日本的和平民主而奋斗的战士,也为中日人民友好等方面作了贡献。研究这个学校的建立和发展情况,对于了解抗日战争时期中国共产党的工作及其统战政策,加强今后中日人民友谊等都具有现实意义。我曾在这个学校工作过,现根据个人记忆及搜集到的资料介绍给读者,以供参考。一延安日本工农学校建立的背景 1937年7月7日,日本对中国发动了芦沟桥事变,这是日本法西斯军部妄图灭亡中国的既定步骤。事变之后,日本内阁举行紧急会议,调遣大批日本士兵投入中国战场 During the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Eighth Route Army General Political Department had set up a Japanese worker-peasant school in Yenan, which was established to educate captured Japanese officers and men on political theory.
