Fleeing from Nazi persecution to Shanghai in 1939, Walter Berger recorded his experience by saving all his precious documents in a single briefcase. The dramatic story of this German Jewish refugee emerges from carefully preserved letters and papers, which escaped with him, traveling the around the world from Germany to China to new life in America. Transcription of original documents bears witness to a life narrowly escaping wartime dangers from German, Japanese, and Chinese sides. This is the true account of an ordinary man forced from his home who survived brushes with death and restarted his life-as revealed from the papers he risked his life to protect.
