"The modern history of Jews in East Asia and the reasons for their survival during World War II are unknown to most scholars of Japan, Jews, or the Holocaust. Meron Medzini’s book fills this gap by connecting the three topics in a readable, concise volume. It shows that there were far too few Jews in Japan for the Japanese to form an opinion about them or their government to devise a “Jewish policy.” Rather than being viewed as a race or religion, Jews were approached as individuals, and the treatment they received depended on their nationality and the personality of Japanese diplomats and officers."
