The Shanghai Jewish Refugee Memorial Hall is located at the intersection of Changyang Road and Zhoushan Road in Hongkou District. It was established in 2007 and was built with the former site of the Moses Hall, which was one of the Jewish activity centers in Shanghai, as the core.
The memorial hall was expanded in November 2020. The new building covers an area of over 4000 square meters, including the former site of the Moses Hall and its original residential buildings on the west and south sides, preserving its original architectural style. So far, the memorial hall has collected about 1000 pieces of historical materials.
Through new display technologies such as scene restoration and interactive multimedia, the new hall vividly depicts various warm details of Jewish refugees and the Chinese people interacting, helping each other in distress, and overcoming difficulties, vividly reproducing the history of European Jews seeking refuge in Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s. The exhibition hall itself is also an existing historical site in China that reflects the lives of Jewish refugees during World War II in China.
In the future, the memorial hall will continue to tell the unique Chinese story of the selfless reception of Jewish refugees by the people of Shanghai to Chinese and foreign tourists, bearing this special global historical memory in all aspects.
