Shanghai Ghetto

Synopsis

Shanghai's Jewish Ghetto housed thousands of refugees fleeing Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. They arrived in a Japanese-controlled city with little support and no entry visas. Filmmakers Dana Janklowicz-Mann and Amir Mann visit Shanghai decades later, alongside two survivors, to revisit the locations where many settled and lived during World War II. The documentary recounts their struggles and efforts to create a community amidst adversity. Martin Landau narrates the film, which runs for 95 minutes.
