Description

Shanghai Dream by Philippe Thirault is a powerful humanistic take on World War II from the largely undocumented perspective of the forced Jewish immigration to China. In 1930, Bernhard and Illo, two aspiring filmmakers, are forced to abandon their home due to violent antisemitism and flee to Shanghai, where they must adapt to a new land and cope with loss through the magic of filmmaking. With nothing but a screenplay and each other, they manage to board a ship headed for Shanghai, a bubbling and enigmatic city that holds the promise of freedom. However, this journey comes at a cost, and the couple must confront the harsh realities of their new life in China. This book offers a unique perspective on World War II, shedding light on a lesser-known chapter in history.
