Shanghai Diary: A Young Girl's Journey from Hitler's Hate to War-Torn China
by Ursula_Bacon Ursula Bacon
Did you know that 18,000 Jews escaped Europe by living in Shanghai? I didn't, until I saw this book. It's a fascinating tale of the author when she was a child. Many were Germans who had escaped their country when the Nazis were elected. The United States, Canada, and countries in Central and South America had immigration quotas and closed their doors to the Jews. But China did not, so many headed there, thinking they were safe at the other end of the world.
