Growing Up a Stateless Foreigner in Wartime Japan

Constantine and Lydia Shapiro fled from war, revolution and anti-Semitism in early 20th Century Russia.

They ultimately found their safety net in Japan and gave birth to Isaac Shapiro. Although the first eleven years of his life were relatively stable, the sudden onset of World War II with the bombing of Pearl Harbor caused the family to move from city to city in war-torn Japan. Hear Isaac’s fascinating story about his family, survival and immigration to the United States.
