Known forhistoryHongkouWWIIheritage
This moving museum documents the story of roughly 20,000 European Jewish refugees who found sanctuary in Shanghai's Hongkou district during World War II, housed in the restored Ohel Moishe Synagogue. The personal testimonies, photographs, and artifacts are deeply affecting and the story is little-known outside specialist circles, making it genuinely revelatory. The surrounding Tilanqiao Historic Area retains authentic 1930s–40s streetscapes worth exploring after your visit.
