Isaac Shapiro: Edokko - Growing Up A Foreigner in Wartime Japan January 14, 2010

Isaac Shapiro, a prominent Manhattan corporate attorney (now retired) and former president of Japan Society (1970-77), shares his life story about growing up as a Jew in Japan during World War II. Part of Japan Society's continuing 'Authors on Asia' Series, Mr. Shapiro draws from his recently published autobiography 'Edokko: Growing up a Foreigner in Wartime Japan,' a fascinating tale of his Russian/Jewish/Chinese/Japanese upbringing.
