Jewish New Year – Shanghai, World War Two

Posted: October 3rd, 2016 | No Comments »

It’s Rosh Hashanah, Jewish New Year and a few things to consider – last week another building, supposedly protected, was bulldozed in the former Jewish ghetto of Shanghai where the built heritage is reduced bit by bit annually; the crackdown on those wishing to practise Judaism in Kaifeng remains firmly in place. So not much good news from China in this area I’m afraid…

But, here’s a picture of a Jewish refugee family in Shanghai during World War Two…I like tho think around New Year…..
