During World War II, nearly 30,000 European Jews found refuge in the Far East – in Japan and parts of China. Most of them survived the Holocaust, while millions of Jews perished in Europe. Only recently did the fate of those survivors attract wider attention. The People's Republic of China is trying aggressively to take credit in a bitter propaganda war with its neighbours. This book examines in detail how the Jews reached those faraway lands. It also explores the attitudes toward Jews in China and Japan and how they affected the war events. The policies related to Jews in Nazi Germany and Japan are covered as well, noting their substantial differences. The book also goes deeper into the motivation of Japan to shelter thousands of Jews to find out whether it was an action of rogue diplomats (like Chiune Sugihara) or a government policy. It examines the status of the Jewish refugees under Japanese control and their everyday lives. That will help to understand the Japanese refusal to exterminate the Jews in Shanghai when that was demanded by the Nazi government of Germany.
