The German city of Hamburg used to have a thriving Chinese community prior to World War II. On May 13, 1944, the Gestapo sent members of that community to labor camps, where they were tortured and forced to work to their deaths. Chinese-American activist Sharon Chin examines this untold Nazi atrocity, while sharing her hopes for the future.
