Relying on a near-forgotten memoir and multilingual archival research across Europe and China, this article introduces the life and career of Ladislaus (László) Frank (1890–1965), a Viennese journalist and Hungarian political exile of Jewish extraction, most notable for his community and press organizing activities in Shanghai during World War II. Frank’s hitherto untranslated Hungarian memoir’s two volumes, I Fled to Shanghai (1960) and Café Atl…

It operated successfully in China until that country’s decision to join th…
