內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介: The Jewish Heritage in China is partly disclosed while partly undisclosed.The fact is China has been a “safe heaven” for Jews throughout history. SomeJews got to Kaifeng around 1,000 years ago, others walked along the Silk Pathpromoting commerce and building Shanghai as an international trading cityand extending their business ties in the Asia-Pacific realm. Some Jews foundrefuge in China escaping hardships in East Europe and Russia. The mostemotional chapter of Jewish presence in Shanghai was during World War IIwhen Jews were given the possibility to save their lives as they escape the NaziRegime, welcomed by the Shanghainese community.
“Shanghai Jewish Map” is a perfect title for a book that tries to intrigueone‘s curiosity. It helps guide you through the historic remains of the differentJewish communities in Shanghai, combining the glorious era of Jewishcommerce, architecture and heritage with times of hardship and mutual supportbetween Shanghai Chinese and Jews.
