The study discusses the history of the Jewish refugees within the
Shanghai setting and its relationship to the two established Jewish
communities, the Sephardi and Russian Jews. Attention is also
focused on the cultural life of the refugees who used both German
and Yiddish, and on their attempts to cope under Japanese
occupation after the outbreak of the Pacific War. Differences of
identity existed between Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews, religious and
secular, aside from linguistic and cultural differences. The study
aims to understand the exile condition of the refugees and their
amazing efforts to create a semblance of cultural life in a strange
new world.
