4. An excellent historical novel detailing these events:

... "Night Angels" by Weina Dai Randel (Lake Union Publishing, Seattle,2023) is based on the efforts of Dr Ho Fengshan, a low-level official of the Chinese Consulate in Nazi occupied Vienna during the War.
After learning the horrible truth about the rounding up of Austrian Jews-- most were forced into slave labor at the notorious Mauthausen concentration camp, where at least 90,000 were killed---Dr. Fengshan (against his superiors' orders) began issuing travel visas to the local Jewish community, mostly to the City of Shanghai, where many lived out their lives in that thriving international community.
