A Jewish Girl in Shanghai

The European Jews Rina and Mishalli sought safety in the Shanghai Ghetto in the 1940s after fleeing the Nazis in their native Germany. A-Gen was a young Chinese man who made a living by selling bread. In exchange for some food, Rina offered her a locket. In order to return Rina's locket, A-Gen searches for her. A-Gen accepted her into his home because he was reared there by the friend of his deceased father, who had fought beside him in the battle against the Japanese during which A-Gen's father had died. The three kids reside in Shanghai together until a collaborator tells the Japanese Army where they are. The guardian of A-Gen resisted and let the soldiers capture him.
