Jewish museum appeals for help
Print Edition
THE Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum is asking for help from Jewish people who lived in the city in the 1930s and 40s as it prepares to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Curator Chen Jian said he is looking for stories and artefacts that help to show how people lived in the city in such difficult times.
The museum already has about 250 items provided by some of the more than 20,000 Jews who lived in Shanghai’s Hongkou District during WWII.
They include passports, marriage certificates and personal effects like spectacles and pill boxes, Chen said.
In the 1930s and 1940s, Jews were under attack from the Nazis in Europe. Thousands of them took refuge in Shanghai to escape the atrocities back home.
