Shanghai: Safe Haven During the Holocaust

"Shanghai: Safe Haven During the Holocaust" presented by the Illinois Holocaust Museum, illuminates a little-known chapter of Holocaust history. Fleeing Nazi persecution, European Jews, turned away by country after country, found refuge in the unlikeliest of places: Shanghai, China. In 1946, American photojournalist Arthur Rothstein captured the resilience of Jewish refugees living in the Hongkew District. This powerful exhibit features Rothstein’s photographs alongside artifacts from former ghetto residents, offering a profound look at their lives during this period. *Registration required.
