In all the literature of the Holocaust and of World War II, the story of the European Jews who fled across the world to the unlikely haven of Japan has remained untold - until now.
This powerful narrative follows a group of refugees throughout their journey across Stalin's Russia, their experiences in Japan, and their struggle for survival in an Asian ghetto.
Interwoven into this moving saga are the details of an astounding plan to create an "Israel in Asia" under Japanese control by offering displaced European Jews a safe haven in Manchuria in return for the financial and technical skills they would bring to this outpost of the Japanese Empire.
As the Holocaust swept over Europe, the legacy of this so-called Fugu Plan was the survival of thousands of Jews issued Japanese transit visas and given wartime refuge in Asia.
