Shanghai: Refuge from the Nazis
Details
This Yom HaShoah lecture is dedicated to the Jewish refugees' saga in WW2 Shanghai. In the Evian Conference (France, July 1938), all 32 participant countries expressed sympathy for the Jewish refugees from the Nazis but refused to admit more (except the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica). However, over 20,000 Jews fled the Nazis and found refuge in Shanghai. See: "In Shanghai, a refuge for Jews fleeing Nazi Europe" (Forward; 2020.07.23).
