Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum

I listened to the teacher throughout the whole process, praised the teacher's professionalism, and also praised the memorial's efforts in sorting out historical materials. Through one picture to understand the story behind, the warmth behind, through one object, history has become three-dimensional intuitive, can be touched. After the visit, it felt really beyond imagination, and I liked the details of the memorial. The final name wall listed a list of 1.8 10,000 people. When the grand narrative fell to one person with blood and flesh, the history became vivid. It is worth learning from other memorials. This is a platform, through this memorial to continuously dig historical stories, so that this history is vividly presented to the world.

My sister and I had been to Israel for a trip. At that time, I met locals asking for directions. I learned that we were from Shanghai, China. I was very excited. I couldn't stop saying thank you. If it weren't for the Sabbath time on the same day, we would almost have to invite us to dinner. Today, I visited the museum to understand why she was so excited that no one around the world took in Jews during the Nazi Holocaust, and only Shanghai resisted pressure to accept more than 20,000 Jewish refugees to save them from the massacre. And they did not forget this kindness, and when they revisited the place, they also wanted to find their neighbors or kind people who had helped. Just want to say: May world peace 🙏

A memorial hall worth seeing, from which I can feel the cruelty of war and the broad heart of the Chinese people. The rich explanation of 1938-41, Shanghai accepted nearly 20,000 Jewish refugees from Europe who fled the Nazi massacre and persecution, living in the "stateless refugee restricted residential area" in the Hongkou Tilanqiao area, and they lived in harmony with the local residents and passed through difficulties. By the end of the war in 1945, most Jewish refugees had survived. The Tilanqiao Historical and Cultural Style Zone, which preserved the style of the Jewish residential area at that time, was the only historical relics in China that reflected the life of Jewish refugees during World War II.

A special history, not to be forgotten! A warm life is memorable! May we stay away from disaster, pain, hatred, may we be close to freedom, democracy, harmony, and may the world be beautiful!

Shanghai witnessed an unforgettable history during World War II, when Jews in Germany and the German-occupied areas were brutally persecuted by the Nazis and excluded from the world’s vast majority of countries. In the midst of the crisis, Shanghai and the people of Shanghai extended their help to them, accepting 20,000 Jewish refugees in the midst of their own war, living in harmony with them, and writing a moving song during World War II. Shanghai, thus became the Noah's Ark of Jews during World War II. In the Hongkou area of Shanghai, there are still a large number of sites where Jewish refugees lived and lived.
