- Summary
- "James R. Ross tells the story of this nearly forgotten Jewish community through the eyes of four individual refugees, tracing their roots in Europe, their escape from the Nazis, and their adjustment to life in Shanghai. Drawing on over 200 interviews with surviving members of the Shanghai Jewish community as well as a richly diverse documentary record, Ross blends investigative journalism with history and narrative nonfiction to provide a remarkably vivid and detailed account of this brave and beleaguered community."--Jacket.
