(4) 4-6 Ilse and her Jewish family flee Austria in 1939. Unable to obtain visas, they battle poverty in the squalid ghettos of the only country that will take them: Japanese-occupied China. Ilse's friendship with a young street criminal is undeveloped, but Ruby's sense of detail and scale makes this a moving historical portrait.
