Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum

A museum in Shanghai's Hongkou district commemorating the tens of thousands of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Europe and found shelter in the city during the Second World War. It centers on the restored Ohel Moishe Synagogue, around which a designated ghetto once concentrated the refugee community. Exhibits use photographs, documents and a wall of survivors' names to reconstruct daily life in the cramped Tilanqiao quarter. Visitors walk former lanes where émigré families once ran shops and cafés.
