Author Rachel DeWoskin brings the Hongkou Jewish ghetto alive in her new novel, Someday We Will Fly, and she’ll share the stories and the sites on this special walk. It’s 1940, and 15-year-old Lillia has fled from Warsaw to Shanghai, the only place they can find that will accept Jews without visas. Her mother has disappeared, so with her father and baby sister, they struggle to make a life ~ school, friends, even budding romance ~ in this strange new place, as Lillia navigates a path that takes her from the Kadoorie School to a gentleman’s club, from the Garden Bridge to French Concession drawing rooms, all in the midst of war and painful deprivation. RMB150 members, 250 nonmembers. RSVP: info@historic-shanghai.com
