Items related to Goodbye Shanghai
During the first seventeen years of his life, spent in Shanghai, Sam experienced wars, changing regimes, different currencies and a variety of schools that reflected the evolving political landscape. In a world obsessed with conflicting nationalism, his family survived as stateless residents, neither subject to, nor the responsibility of, any country. They were instead, sustained by their Russian Jewish culture and community. Through Sam s memories of early life and his love of history, we learn of Shanghai s uniqueness as a home and haven to thousands of Jews over many centuries.
