Echoes of Harbin : Reflections on Space and Time of a Vanished Community in Manchuria, Hardback Book

Echoes of Harbin : Reflections on Space and Time of a Vanished Community in Manchuria Hardback

Hardback

Description

Echoes of Harbin: Reflections on Space and Time of a Vanished Community in Manchuria deals with Harbin, a Chinese city that was established by Russians in 1898 and was a home for 38 different national ethnic communities for more than 60 years.

Among the communities, and second in size, was the Jewish community.

This book exposes several areas that have contributed to the Jewish experience in China, particularly in Harbin, and paints a revealing picture of what a Jewish community in an alien land was and how it functioned in a space that was shared with other communities.

While it starts with a unique space called Manchuria that had its mark on the town of Harbin, it uncovers the active and productive life of a community that wished for a haven but found unrest and hostilities and had to look for it elsewhere.
