About This Novel
When Hitler came to power and the German army began to sweep across Europe, nearly 20,000 Central European Jewish refugees fled to Shanghai. This book collects letters, diaries, poems and short stories written by Jewish refugees in the years after landing in China, recreating their journey of struggling to make a living across the barriers of language, culture, belief systems and national traditions, and revealing the severe challenges faced by the Shanghai Jewish community due to differences in economic status, belief levels and class origins. The text in this book is taken from archives, private collections, and long-defunct newspapers. It not only enriches and enriches the Nazi Holocaust and exile literature, but also provides irreplaceable original documents for a glimpse into the mental journey of Jewish refugees in Shanghai. As a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust, the editor not only supplements the biographies of these unknown authors, but also gives his own interpretation based on the background of the times. The writing styles in the book are diverse, some are realistic, some are satirical, some are humorous, some are lyrical, some are empathetic, some are inspiring, they are real and thought-provoking.
