For a century, Jews were an unmistakable and prominent feature of
Shanghai life. They built hotels and stood in bread lines,
hobnobbed with the British and Chinese elites and were confined to
a wartime ghetto. Jews taught at the Shanghai Conservatory of
Music, sold Viennese pastries, and shared the worst slum with
native Shanghainese. Three waves of Jews, representing three
religious and ethnic communities, landed in Shanghai, remained
separate for decades, but faced the calamity of World War II and
ultimate dissolution together.In this book, we hear their own words
and the words of modern scholars explaining how Baghdadi, Russian
and Central European Jews found their way to Shanghai, created
lives in the world's most cosmopolitan city, and were forced to
find new homes in the late 1940s.
