Speakers: Jonathan Kaufman, Rebecca Taylor

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jonathan Kaufman reveals the epic, multigenerational story of two rival Jewish dynasties who flourished in Shanghai and Hong Kong as 20th-century China surged into the modern era. The Bloomberg executive editor is our guide, from beginnings in Baghdad to surviving Japanese occupation, entertaining Wallis Simpson and Charlie Chaplin and nearly losing everything as the Communists came to power. He will be in conversation with Jewish Renaissance editor Rebecca Taylor.
