JHS | Shanghai Angel: Finding Rosa

Heather Klein, a well-known Yiddish vocalist, will travel to Dallas with her collaborators to share her grandmother’s compelling immigration story through song.

Love, detainment and a lie.

With $2.50 in her pocket, Rosa Ginsberg left her family behind in Shanghai, China, in 1940 for an uncertain future in the United States. The 18-year-old native of Vienna landed at Angel Island in San Francisco Bay, site of a U.S. immigration station that processed hundreds of thousands of immigrants from 1910 through 1940. She left Angel Island for the mainland on the basis of a mostly true story.
