Members of three Winnipeg families were among those who fled to China during the war. Day-to-day, throughout the second world war they lived the Shanghai experience, and their personal stories help bring the exhibition to life.

Over sixty years have passed, but this story is still relevant today. In Manitoba and Canada, tolerance and understanding of others and the recognition of fundamental human rights, irrespective of national or cultural background, is what our country and our community must value and strengthen. This story is a powerful example of how each of us can make a difference with results that can reverberate far into the future.

The humanitarian spirit of the diplomats is celebrated today, not only in the exhibition, but also through the cooperation and cross-cultural collaboration of the three communities that have worked together to bring this exhibition to Winnipeg and Manitoba.
