FANTASTIC STORIES: The accounts gathered here offer a fascinating look into one of the more remarkable stories of the Holocaust the exodus of European Jews to ChinaPOPULAR SUBJECT: The widespread interest in the topic, both scholarly and otherwise, is demonstrated by the comparatively large number of books released in recent yearsFIRST COMPREHENSIVE ORAL HISTORY: Apart from our own To Wear the Dust of War (interviews with a single individual) and an out-of-print book from ’94 comprised of four interviews, this is the first real oral history on this subjectMARKET: While it’s probably not realistic to expect sales on the order of Iraq’s Last Jews, we can anticipate healthy coverage in Jewish media and interest from upmarket Jewish readersCURRENT RELEVANCE: The sheltering of Jews in Shanghai remains a point of pride for the Chinese today, with local museums and monuments still devoted to this period. It also takes on a notable significance in light of warming relationships between China and Israel
