It was originally founded by the Sephardic Jewish in 1934, and adopted the new name in 1942. There were four main Jewish cemeteries but all have been demolished. It is well preserved and is now occupied by the Shanghai Music Conservatory. Shanghai, the asylum for Jewish refugees during the Second World War, saved tens of thousands Jews that makes Schindler's List pale in comparison. Now you still can find Stars of David decorating old tenements in the French quarter.
Jewish businessmen hold regular religious services in the city.
We arrange tours to the old Jewish sites. For more information, please contact us.
