PBS documentary film Harbor from the Holocaust is about Jewish refugees who fled to the Chinese port city of Shanghai. In addition to the film, a link will be provided to a pre-recorded panel discussion with survivors from Shanghai.
Harbor from the Holocaust is the story of nearly 20,000 Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. The documentary explores the relationship of these Jews, and their adopted city of Shanghai, through the bitter years of Japanese occupation 1937-1945 and the Chinese civil war that followed.
