"Deliverence in Shanghai" is a masterful novel by Jerome Agel and Eugene Boe. It tells the story of Rebecca Langer-Wolf, and ehr family as they have to escape Lubeck, Germany for Shanghai, the only city that was accepting Jewish refugees in 1937. Although this novel is fictional, it is based upon the real experiences of the Jews. Basically, it is the tale of people who survive despite having to pick up the pieces more than once. With the emigration, they begin again. With the beginning of Japan's war with the West, they manage to survive, even when they are forced into filthy ghettos. The novel lets us know how the Chinese see all of this. It is a bit sad, as the end kills off some of the characters, but it is an unforgetable saga, and I was enriched by reading about them. 4 stars.
