 From 1960-1963, the Rahr family relocated to Japan, where he directed a Russian-language program on Japanese radio in Tokyo.  During this time, he also taught Russian at the Tokyo campus of the University of Maryland.  (When the Rahr family returned to Germany, he would teach Russian Literature and History at one of the University of Maryland's campuses there.)  From 1963 until 1974, Gleb Rahr again worked for the Frankfurt publisher he had years before.

 ==The Chapel at Dachau==
-On the initiative of Archbishop [[Longin (Talypin) of Klin]], as Russian forces were completely withdrawn from Germany in 1994-1995, a memorial chapel was built at the former Nazi concentration camp at Dachau, outside of Munich.  [[Chapel of the Resurrection (Dachau, Bavaria)|This chapel]], named for the Resurrection of Christ, (and which led to a [[Church of the Resurrection (Munich, Bavaria)|parish of the same name]] - a church Rahr belonged to for years - being founded in Munich in 1996), was built to remember the Orthodox victims of the Nazi regime, as well as any other regimes of terror. The main icon of the chapel depicts Christ leading the prisoners of Dachau out of the camp through the gates, held open by angels.  One of the prisoners depicted wears the prisoner number R64923 - Gleb Rahr's number.  Since his death, a small wooden cross, fashioned by Rahr whilst a prisoner, is also housed at this chapel.

 Since the Americans could not immediately release all the prisoners at Dachau, and in that year [[Pascha]] occurred on [[May 6]] (April 23, on the Julian Calendar).  Among the prisoners at Dachau, many of them were Orthodox, including priests, deacons, and a group of monks from [[Mount Athos]].  It was decided that there would be an effort made, in conjunction with the Yugoslav and Greek National Prisoner's Committees, to celebrate the Paschal service there in Dachau.
-However, there were no liturgical items to be found at the concentration camp, and attempts to procure any of these items from a Russian Orthodox Church in Munich was futile.  Besides the Orthodox in Dachau, a "block" of Catholic priests had been allowed to stay together during their imprisonment, and they had been allowed a room in their barrack in which they could say Mass every day before they began their work.  They offered this makeshift "chapel" - a bare room containing only an icon of the Theotokos of Czestochowa.  Vestments were made of new linen-towels raided from the hospital of the SS-guards, and red crosses, meant to denote medical personnel, were sewn to adorn these towel-vestments.

 Although 40 percent of the prisoners at Dachau were Soviet prisoners of war, very few were allowed to participate, as Russian forces, in the days between liberation and Pascha, started the "repatriation" process for this group.  However, the services commenced, there being twelve Orthodox priests and one deacon there, mostly Greek and Serbian, and the entire service, from the Paschal Canon to the Sticheras to the Gospel to the Homily of St. John Chrysostom were all done by memory, alternating between Slavonic and Greek.
