Dear Friends & Colleagues, On behalf of Academic Studies Press, it is my pleasure to announce the publication of a volume you may be interested in for review: *Under the Shadow of the Rising Sun: Japan and the Jews during the Holocaust Era <http://www.academicstudiespress.com/browse-catalog/under-the-shadow-of-the-rising-sun>* by Meron Medzini.
October 2016 | 9781618115386 | 290 pp. | $79.00 USD | Hardcover *Summary:* Even before Japan joined Nazi Germany in the Axis Alliance, its leaders clarified to the Nazi regime that the attitude of the Japanese government and people to the Jews was totally different than that of the official German position and that it had no intention of taking measures against the Jews that could be seen as racially motivated. During World War II some 40,000 Jews found themselves under Japanese occupation in Manchuria, China and countries of South East Asia. Virtually all of them survived the war, unlike their brethren in Europe. This book traces the evolution of Japan's policy towards the Jews from the beginning of the 20th century, the existence of anti-Semitism in Japan, and why Japan ignored repeated Nazi demands to become involved in the "final solution". *Meron Medzini *was born in Jerusalem and received his Ph.D in East Asia Studies from Harvard University. He began teaching modern Japanese history at the Hebrew University in 1964. Since 1973 he has been an Adjunct Associate Professor of modern Japanese history and Israeli foreign policy at the Hebrew University. Medzini is the author of six books and scores of articles..
