Sinossi
A startling memoir written by a young Jewish refugee chronicles the fate of those European Jews who fled east rather than west and south to escape the Nazis-to the fetid, teeming streets of Shanghai, China, where poverty, disease, and the hard realities of life on the streets awaited them.

Product Description
By the late 1930s, Europe sat on the brink of a world war. As the holocaust approached, many Jewish families in Germany fled to one of the only open port available to them: Shanghai. Once called 'the armpit of the world,' Shanghai ultimately served as the last resort for tens of thousands of Jews desperate to escape Hitler's 'Final Solution.' Against this backdrop, 11-year-old Ursula Bacon and her family made the difficult 8,000-mile voyage to Shanghai, with its promise of safety. But instead of a storybook China, they found overcrowded streets teeming with peddlers, beggars, opium dens, and prostitutes. Amid these abysmal conditions, Ursula learned of her own resourcefulness and found within herself the fierce determination to survive.

Most Western nations, not willing to involve themselves in volatile European politics, had shut their doors to Jewish immigrants. Tens of thousands of Middle~European refugees, fleeing Hitler's brutal regime, set their hopes for freedom on Shanghai~the only open port available. Eleven~year~old Ursula Bacon was one such refugee, narrowly escaping with her parents from the clutches of the SS. After traveling 8,000 miles from their lifelong home and witnessing the arrest of fellow passengers, they arrived in Shanghai only to discover that the long arm of Nazi influence had extended into China. They made an abrupt transition from a life of privilege to one of malnourished poverty, living in a district teeming with disease and noxious waste. During the eight years that passed before the family's dream of emigrating to America was realized, they relied on determination, ingenuity, the help of honest friends, and the calming presence of an England~born Buddhist monk to persevere. In this fascinating memoir, Ursula recounts her struggles in that overcrowded and dubious refuge of Shanghai~from the ensuing Japanese occupation to an intense moment of self~defense; from targeted Allied air attacks to assisting the rescue of a downed American crew. Fifty years later, Ursula is ready to tell her story. Codice articolo 7082404
