"Shanghai
Reunion 2006" - an article in the Points East Newsletter
Although I
am not a Shanghailander, I made the decision many months ago to
attend the 2006 Shanghai Reunion in Shanghai. As the widow of Fred
Marcus, a former refugee who spent ten years in Shanghai, I felt

learn more about my husband’s experiences and perhaps meet several
persons who had known him.

created from some story – no, it is true, it really happened and I
was there, lived it, and after 57 years went back to a reunion with
my husband and two daughters.”
