Learn the story of 20,000 Jewish refugees who fled Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II to the city of Shanghai. This one-hour film explores the extraordinary relationship the refugees, known as “Shanghailanders,” had with their adopted city, through the bitter years of Japanese occupation 1937-1945 and the Chinese civil war that followed.

Through personal recollections, interviews with historians, archival footage and music, HARBOR FROM THE HOLOCAUST tells the story of a group of people who, in tragic contrast with those who could not escape, were given a second chance.

The story, much like the city itself, is nuanced and complex, incorporating many kinds of foreigners, many classes of Chinese, many kinds of Jews and many layers. Even the people whose stories are shared have varying tales of how they lived in Shanghai, what their families experienced, and how they were able to function on a day-to-day basis.
