The Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum, situated within the Tilanqiao Historic Area of Hongkou District, Shanghai, stands as China’s sole memorial dedicated to the Jewish refugees who sought sanctuary in the city during the Second World War (WWII). The museum was established in 2007, with the Moshe Synagogue as its core body. The museum tells the history of European Jewish refugees who came to Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s to escape Nazi persecution and shared weal and woe with the Chinese people.
In December 2020, the expansion project of the museum was completed, extending its area to more than 4,000 square meters. Through nearly 1,000 pieces of precious cultural relics and historical materials, more than 160 vivid personal stories, more than 10 recreated scenes, and the “The Wall of Names of Jewish Refugees in Shanghai” engraved with 18,58 names, the museum vividly, authentically and convincingly exhibits the “history of Shanghai Jewish refugees.”
On Zhoushan Road and Huoshan Road near the museum, there still stand the historic buildings that have connections with Jewish refugees, such as the former site of the American-Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the Roy Roof Garden, Blumenthal’s former residence, Huoshan Park and other historical buildings and sites, which record the stories from back then.
Ohel Moshe Synagogue
The Ohel Moshe Synagogue is located within the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum. It is a veranda-style building with blue brick exterior walls, red tile roofs, and triangular gables. It is one of the two remaining synagogues in Shanghai. In 1927, Russian Jews jointly raised funds to build the synagogue of Moshe. During WWII, it became a place for Jewish refugees in Shanghai to gather around and hold religious ceremonies. Since China launched the reform and opening-up initiative, large numbers of foreign visitors have paid visits to this small building every year, and it has come under the spotlight for that special period of history behind.
In 2005, it was designated a Shanghai Outstanding Historical Building. In 2007, based on the original blueprint, the synagogue underwent a comprehensive renovation to restore to its original appearance, and the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum was established with it as the core building. In 2014, it was further honored as a Protected Historical and Cultural Site by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government.
White Horse Inn
The White Horse Inn was first opened in 1939 by Rudolf Mosberg and his wife, who fled from Vienna, Austria to Shanghai. It was popular among Jewish refugees who had left their homes and served as their daily gathering place. Its original location was at the intersection of Changyang Road and Lintong Road. It was demolished in 2009 due to the widening project of Changyang Road. In 2015, it was rebuilt at No.67 Changyang Road in accordance with the ratio of 1:1 as a major project of the city in tribute to the 70th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, retaining some of the original building components and furniture.
Former Site of JDC
The full name of JDC is the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which was established in 1914 in New York, the United States. In 1938, a branch office was set up in Shanghai, located at No.119-121, Huoshan Road. JDC was one of the most important relief organizations assisting European Jewish refugees in Shanghai at that time, with the aid funds mostly used to build refugee camps, soup kitchens and hospitals.
Huoshan Park
Located at No.118 Huoshan Road, Huoshan Park was built in 1917 and originally called Studley Park. During WWII, it became a place for Jewish refugees living in Hongkou to rest and gather around. In June 1944, it was renamed Huoshan Park. In 1994, a “Jewish Reunion in Shanghai” event was held, and a monument with the words “The Designated Area for Stateless Refugees” in three languages (Chinese, English, Hebrew) inscribed on it was erected in Huoshan Park, describing the approximate boundaries of the Jewish quarter.
Former Site of Roy Roof Garden (Broadway Theatre)
In 1928, Odeon Theatre Company, an American company, invested in the construction of Broadway Theatre. It was officially opened in September 1930. In 1939, Jewish refugees rented and renovated the rooftop of the theater, making it into the Roy Roof Garden, also known as Mascot Roof Garden, a well-known gathering place for Jewish refugees at that time. When holidays came, they were well-dressed and took part in various parties and activities held here, enjoying brief respites from their hardships. Jewish musicians also often held concerts here.
