Lois, I do recommend your book here in Las Vegas at the Holocaust Resource Center. We have several survivors in this area who were in Shanghai, and your book is a perfect introduction when they go to speak. Thanks for putting it out there! Suzi Dubin

I suggest Shanghai Shadows, a novel about the 20,000 Jewish refugees who escaped to China and spent the duration of the war in Shanghai, under Japanese occupation. It's a little-known story and a welcome (I hope) departure from the European angle. The Jews in Shanghai weren't targeted for extermination, but they were forced into a ghetto, where they formed a rich and varied culture under extremely difficult circumstances. Thanks for considering the book ... Lois LOIS RUBY Author of Steal Away Home The Secret of Laurel Oaks Strike!
