Abstract:
During World War II, as many as 20,000 Jews lived and took refuge in Old Shanghai. Prior to 1951, there were four Jewish cemeteries in Shanghai with up to 3,700 graves, according to historic records. In 1951, the four cemeteries were moved to an international cemetery located in the western suburbs of the city. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) the cemeteries were demolished and the graves and headstones were smashed and thrown away. The Shangai Jewish Memorial is a project to unearth, restore, document and create a befitting memorial for those Jewish people that lived and died in Shanghai by locating, identifying and securing their gravestones.
Language and Other Notes:
