The Port of Last Resort - Zuflucht in Shanghai

In the years 1938-41 nearly 18,000 European Jewish refugees fled to Shanghai, China, where most would spend a decade in exile.

This little-known story is told through the recollections of former refugees and a collage of evocative archival materials: personal and published writings, relief reports, and secret documents, illustrated with home movies, photographs, newsreels, and propaganda films.
