Events

This is the story of Paul, an 18-year-old Austrian Jew who escaped to Shanghai, China by himself in 1938. Upon arriving in China, not only does he support himself, but also helps his parents, sister, aunt and uncle leave Europe and survive World War II in Shanghai. While many in the Jewish community elected to leave China as soon as possible after the war, Paul and his young wife, Shirley, chose to stay on after the Communist takeover. This decision led to a sequence of events that rivaled the perils of the war years. Proud partner of the Jewish Book Council.
