520    In 1926, professional musicians Constantine Shapiro, born 
       in Moscow in 1896, and Lydia Chernetsky (Odessa, 1905) met
       and married in Berlin, Germany after their respective 
       families had suffered continuous persecution in war-torn 
       Russia, or the Soviet Union, as it was known after 1922. 
       With Hitler's national socialism on the rise, remaining in
       Berlin was for the newlyweds out of the question and they 
       decided to continue their odyssey, first to Palestine, 
       then China, to ultimately spend the World War II years in 
       the relative safety of Japan. In 1931, they found 
       themselves in Japan, where Isaac, son number four and 
       author of this memoir, was born. A few years later, with 
       World War II imminently looming, and the subsequent 
       bombing of Pearl Harbor, their lives were disrupted once 
       again. In 1944, the Yokohama shore was banned for 
       foreigners and the Shapiro family, including their five 
       children, were forced to move to Tokyo, where they 
       survived endless hardships, among others the intensified 
       strategic United States bombing campaigns on Tokyo. 
       Operation Meetinghouse started March 9, 1945 and is 
       regarded as the single most destructive bombing raid in 
       human history. The Japanese later called the operation the
       Night of the Black Snow. During the subsequent American 
       occupation of Japan, 14-year-old Isaac, being multilingual,
       was hired as an interpreter by John Calvin Munn, a United 
       States Marine colonel, (later promoted to Lt. Gen.) who, 
       when the war was over, paved the way for Isaac, or Ike as 
       he soon became known, to immigrate to the United States. 
       In the summer of 1946, Isaac landed in Hawaii, at the time
       a United States territory, altering the course of his life
       forever.
