DESCRIPTION:When Steve Hochstadt began interviewing former Shanghai refugee
 s in the 1980s\, as research for his book\, the heroic escape to Shanghai 
 was a largely unexplored aspect of the Holocaust experience. Join us in th
 e interview with Steve Hochstadt\, Professor Emeritus of History at Illino
 is College\, and delve into the narratives of one hundred refugees located
  by Hochstadt. The interview will be moderated by Dr. Warren Rosenblum\, P
 rofessor of History\, Politics\, and International Relations at Webster Un
 iversity.\n\n"Shanghai was one of the major safe havens for Jews fleeing N
 azi Germany. In China Jews built a vibrant community\, a testament to thei
 r indomitable determination not just to survive\, but to live full and com
 plete lives. Steve Hochstadt tells their story through a remarkable collec
 tion of interviews gathered over many years and his own insightful comment
 ary. Exodus to Shanghai is a great book that reveals a little-known aspect
  of the fate of Jews under Nazi persecution." - Eric D. Weitz\, Dean of Hu
 manities and the Arts at City College\, City University of New York\n\nThe
  “Talk to the Author” program is organized by the Webster University C
 onfucius Institute.
