In the mid-1930s, author Vera Haldy-Regier's father, a minor, recalcitrant diplomat in Hitler's government, is banished to a post in Vladivostok, Russia, and later to the former German lease territory of Tsingtao, China.

While openly critical of the Nazis, he nonetheless remains employed by the German Foreign Office until the end of the war. Together with his wife, he is instrumental in obtaining food and money for the small community of Jewish refugees that fled to Tsingtao, and endures several threats to his life from Nazi officials. After Hitler's defeat, the family loses nearly all its possessions to the Chinese revolutionaries before escaping to the West on an American troop transporter.
