| Summary: | Meron Medzini focuses on Japan’s attitude and policies towards Jews during the National Socialist era, an especially important topic given that approximately 20,000 Jews fled Europe and survived the Holocaust in areas of Asia controlled by Japan: most notably in Shanghai, but also in other occupied territories, and even in Japan itself. While the book focuses on the years 1933–1945, a prologue provides background about relations between Jews and Japan prior to 1933, and an epilogue describes developments between 1945 and 2015, a period the author presents in a positive light, characterized by increasing Holocaust awareness in Japan and good relations with Israel. |
