Audrey Friedman Marcus On Survival In Shanghai





Tune into an insightful lecture by Audrey Friedman Marcus, widow of Fred Marcus. At fifteen, Fred Marcus and his father left Germany to escape the Nazis. Their destination was Shanghai, one of few places at that time with no entry requirements. Recently compiled and published, Marcus's diaries provide a vivid picture of the unfamiliar, challenging environment faced by this courageous young man and 20,000 fellow refugees.

I am doing research for a talk on the Jews of Shanghai to be given at Temple Beth El in Riverside. This podcast gave me lots of new information, and I will surely read the book. I can't remember ever being so moved.
