Her "Eternal Strangers" was mostly about her parents. "Shanghai Diary" is more detailed and truely gripping.
Chapter 15 begins the memoir of Ursula, a gripping tale of teenage ingenuousness survival; growing up fast.
If you get a chance hear her tale in person.

Great story of a Jewish family's exile from Nazi Germany to Shanghai. This is a memoir, told through the eyes of a young girl who grew up very quickly. Lots of important historical information, as well as great portrayals of the many personalities the author encountered during her family's eight years in exile inShanghai.
