First curated by Holocaust Museum LA, the little-known history of the diverse, resettled Jewish community in Shanghai, including Iraqi Jews who arrived in the mid-1800s, Russian Jews who fled pogroms at the turn of the century, and German and Austrian Jews who desperately escaped the Nazis. With most countries limiting or denying entry to Jews during the 1930s, the free port of Shanghai became an unexpected haven for Jews attempting to flee the antisemitic policies and identity-based violence in Nazi-controlled Europe.
