April News & Updates

4/2/2017

 

Movie Night
​

The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center   (1 E 65th St, New York, NY 10065) will present Survival in Shanghai, the documentary that tells this amazing yet little-known story on 4/26 at 6:15pm.

Shanghai had experienced Jewish immigration since the 1800s—when both Baghdadi and Russian contingents established themselves there—not until the 1930s did the community swell into the tens of thousands. By then, Jews fleeing Nazi persecution and hardships had almost nowhere to go. But unlike the rest of the world, which had essentially locked these people out, Shanghai welcomed them. In fact, by the time World War II started, this city harbored more EuropeanJewish refugees than anyplace else on earth, many of whom came to see China asa dearly beloved second home.
There will also be a post-screening panel of survivors, who’ll discuss their incredible—and incredibly moving—journeys.

Admission is free, but you MUST register to gain entry HERE. If you would like to sit with WJOA email Robin Herman  after registration. Find updates on the Facebook event closer to the event.
