Shanghai Ghetto

""Recalls the strange-but-true story of thousands of European Jews who were shut out of country after country while trying to escape Nazi persecution in the late 1930s. Left without options or entrance visas, a beacon of hope materialized for them on the other side of the world, and in the unlikeliest of places: Japanese-controlled Shanghai. Fleeing for their lives, these Jewish refugees journeyed to form a settlement in the exotic city, penniless and unprepared for their new life in the Far East"--Container."@en

"The incredible story of thousands of Jews and their dramatic escape from the Nazis during World War II to Japanese-controlled Shanghai. Fleeing for their lives, these Jewish refugees journeyed to form a settlement in the exotic city, penniless and unprepared for their new life in the Far East. Shot at the site of the original Shanghai Ghetto, unchanged since WWII, along with interviews of survivors and historians, rare letters, stock footage and still photos, the film depicts an incredibly moving portrayal of a rich cultural life, bravely constructed under enormous hardship."@en
