After 1938, the Nazi regime in Germany launched Kristallnacht to persecute Jews, and more and more Jews fled from Europe to the free city of Shanghai. Jewish refugees established camps and residential communities in several neighborhoods across the city. After World War II, Jews gradually left Shanghai, but the buildings where they once lived still preserve these memories.

09:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Visit the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum and Ohel Moishe Synagogue, an authoritative museum that preserves many items and photographs related to Jewish life in Shanghai.
