Fritz Marcus (later called Fred) was born to loving Jewish parents in Berlin, Germany in 1924. His was a happy childhood until a cruel dictator named Adolf Hitler rose to power, and set out to persecute and get rid of Germany's Jews. The only solution, Fritz's parents thought, was to leave Germany and settle in another country. Although, at that time, there were few countries that would take in Jewish refugees, Fritz's father was able to purchase tickets on a large passenger ship to faraway Shanghai, China. This book tells the story of Fritz's journey by sea to Shanghai, his ten years as a refugee in China during World War II, and finally his immigration to the United States.
