Synopsis
A harrowing account of Jewish refugees in the Philippines With the rise of Nazism in the 1930s more than a thousand European Jews sought refuge in the Philippines, joining the small Jewish population of Manila. When the Japanese invaded the islands in 1941, the peaceful existence of the barely settled Jews filled with the kinds of uncertainties and oppression they thought they had left behind. In this book Frank Ephraim, who fled to Manila with his parents, gathers the testimonies of thirty-six refugees, who describe the difficult journey to Manila, the lives they built there upon their arrival, and the events surrounding the Japanese invasion. Combining these accounts with historical and archival records, Manila newspapers, and U.S. government documents, Ephraim constructs a detailed account of this little-known chapter of world history., With the rise of Nazism in the 1930s more than a thousand European Jews sought refuge in the Philippines, joining the small Jewish population of Manila.

    I ordered this book on Friday Oct 24, and received it on Monday Oct 27. Extremely fast response from the seller. The book was packed very well and I received it with no shipping damage. The book was in mint condition and was exactly what was described. I will purchase from this seller in the future, and I would recommend them.

    Shipping was pretty fast, wasn’t impressed with the packaging of I’m being honest especially for the $$ — the book arrived in good shape — but it could have very easily been damaged with the type of packaging (flat stapled cardboard type pack without structure) BUT it arrived all the same and was as described — I think it’s a great value. Would buy from this seller again — but I would be willing to pay more for shipping to ensure the items had the best shot at arriving in pristine condition.
