About:Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum

Is there a list of names of people who were there during WWII?

My father was one of the Kobe Jews who ended up in Shanghai. Is there any list with names and dates which would help me find out where too and when he left Shanghai?

I happen to know that there is a database of the Jews in the official website of SH Jewish Refugees Museum. You may try to search that online.

We are visiting the synagogue turned museum tomorrow and will ask if there is a list. I believe there is, since when I emailed them from New York, I told them that my husband's uncle had also come there during the war. The museum employee emailed me back to find out his name, which probably means they are keeping a list.

Based on our uncle's directions, when we were here in 1984, we found a taxi driver who remembered "The Jewish Church" and took us there. The synagogue had been turned into a MUNITIONS PLANT!! We found the balcony, the place where the eternal light would have been, a place for a Succoth in the back...but were afraid to stay too long for fear of the government.

We have a picture of us in front of the Synagogue in 1984. We became engaged in China (Canton) on that trip and now are back to celebrate our 30th Anniversary with our two sons, and to celebrate their college graduation and acceptance into an MBA Program.
