Activity Overview

At the beginning of WW II, about 30,000 Jewish refugees fled from Europe to Shanghai. Calling themselves ‘Shanghailanders’, most settled in the Hongkou district. Since then, Jews have made an important cultural impact on the economic and development of Shanghai. Bakeries, stores, cafes, synagogues, schools, clinics, cemeteries, and even a Jewish newspaper all flourished there.

On this tour, trace the origins, growth and development of the strong Jewish presence in Shanghai. See the iconic Ohel Moishe Synagogue. Built in 1927, this designated area became the home of approximately 20,000 refugees from Central Europe during WW II. Tour Huoshan Park, an oasis of calm and peace where the Monument in Memory of Jewish Refugees now stands.

Duolun Road is also a must-see stop because of the history, culture and humanity of 1920s-30s Shanghai.
