Shanghai, China--once called the armpit of the world--was the port of last resort for thousands of Jews escaping from Adolph Hitler's extermination pogrom in Europe. Now, a survivor of the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in World War II tells her remarkable, touching story of growing to maturity in the teeming clutter and clamor of crowded streets, screeching vendors, a miasma of running sewage, discarded newborn girl babies, dripping humidity and pestilence-breeding rats. Between tears and laughter, she relates how she and her parents learned to live by their wits, overcome despair and value life more dearly because danger and death were always so near.
