Disposition of The Nanking Massacre Film
In 1953 Magee left the 16mm camera and the film to his son David who had accompanied him in Nanking. In 2002 when David heard of the news that China was going to build a museum in memory of the people who were killed during the Nanking Massacre, he came to Nanking. According to his father's last wish he offered the historical materials without charge. To remember the special contribution that Magee had made to the Nanking people a library was built in the name of Magee.

To prey on nothing that doth seem as dead.”
