| GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION: | |
| | |
| OVERVIEW OF ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION: | The Shanghai Jewish Community Oral History Project is directed by Steve Hochstadt, Professor of History at Bates College. The project collects oral histories of surviving Shanghai Jews, focusing especially on the German-speaking refugees. The interviews show not only how they survived, but also how they created a community of synagogues, cafes, theaters, schools, and newspapers. The first interviews were done on a trip to China in spring 1989. The rest were taped in Florida, California, Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg, Chicago, and other places.
Currently there are over 100 interviews with over 115 Shanghai Jews. Interviewees were selected on a random basis. Thirty-one interviews were conducted in German.
Forty-two interviews have been transcribed and transcription work continues. |
