Yahudi Heritage

There have been Yahudi in China for a long time. The first synagogue was built in Kaifeng in 1163 and there had certainly been a small community of Yahudi (Silk Road traders) settled there for at least a few hundred years before that.

As Shanghai grew after it opened to foreign trade in the 1840s, Yahudi traders arrived; by the early 20th century, Shanghai had a substantial Yahudi population and many of them lived in Hongkou. More Jews, and quite a few White Russians, arrived fleeing Russia, before or shortly after the 1917 revolution. Then when the Japanese took Manchuria in 1931, many people from the fairly large Yahudi community in Harbin fled south. Also, as life in Germany became untenable for Yahudi in the 1930s, many more Yahudi refugees came to Shanghai.

After the Japanese took the city in 1937, a ghetto was created in Hongkou. The sign in the photo commemorates that period.

After the end of the Second World War came a Chinese Civil War, ending with the Communist victory in 1949. Many Yahudi left Shanghai in this period, mainly going to either Hong Kong or but some remained.
