Shanghai Jewish Newspapers

About 30,000 Jews fleeing Europe during WWll found their way to Shanghai
China due to their "loose" visa requirements. Thanks to both the Leo Baeck
Institute and the Internet Archive, four newspapers are in the
collection-most of the writing is in German, some in English. The four
newspapers are:
Shanghai Jewish Chronicle 1939-1945

S. Z. am Mittag der Shanghai Post. 1939-1940

Acht Uhr Abendblatt 1939-1941

Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum

About 20,000 of these refugee Jews lived in the Shanghai area known as in
Tilanqiao, the "Designated Area for Stateless Refugees". The area is still
preserved. The Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum is located at the former site
of Ohel Moshe Synagogue and two exhibition halls. It is an important
component of the "Tilanqiao Historic Area" and serves to commemorate the
phase of history when the Jewish refugees lived in Shanghai.

The Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum has a database with name, occupation and
address information for many of the refugees. To search the database see:

The database is sponsored by the Consulate General of Israel in Shanghai and
built with the donations from Israeli enterprises
