Talk/Questions/Book Signing

China-born Ester Shifren is the descendant of five
generations of British Jewish Nationals living in Shanghai for more than one century. She and
her family were interned by the Japanese during WWII.  Between 1987 and
2004, Ester managed to tape three interviews of her parents that yielded 100
transcribed pages of invaluable information for use in her book.  She has
lectured extensively internationally about her life, the multi ethnic groups
and cultures, and the Japanese incarceration of Far Eastern Allies, in Shanghai.

The Author will discuss her book, answer questions and sign
her book.  For more information Call the
