Ebook: Under the Shadow of the Rising Sun: Japan and the Jews during the Holocaust Era (Lectures from the “Broadcast University” of Israel Army Radio)

Japan was a party to the Axis Alliance with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. However, it ignored repeated German demands to harm the 40,000 Jews who found themselves under Japanese occupation during World War Two. This book attempts to answer why they behaved in a relatively humane fashion towards the Jews.
