Jewish Refugee Memorial Hall

 

Jewish Refugee Memorial Hall was built in 1927(the year 5688 in Jewish Calendar) and reserved for special use for Jews in Shanghai. It is also known as the old site of Shanghai Ohel Moishe Synagogue. From the end of 1938 to 1945, over 20,000 Jewish refugees took shelters in places such as Changyang Rd., Huoshan Rd. and Gaoyang Rd. in Hongkou District. A lot of activities were held at the Memorial Hall, which, as a place of worship and gathering by Jewish refugees, maintaining their faith and keeping their morale, enabled the Jews to brace up promptly in the new environment, to set up schools, hospitals, shops, factories, and etc., and to stick to fighting against the fascists by means of various organized activities.
