Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum
Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum is located on No. 62 Changyang Road in the Hongkou District of Shanghai. It consists of three parts. The first one is the former Ohel Moishe Synagogue（摩西会堂mó xī huì táng） which contains a three-storey building with red roof and arched door. The second and the third exhibition halls are mainly used for displaying historical materials. It is an important component of the “Tilanqiao Historic Area” in Shanghai.
Ohel Moishe Synagogue was firstly built in 1907 and moved to actual residence in 1927. It became a religion active center for Jewish refugees in Shanghai during the Second World War and also a headquarters for the Jewish Youth Organization. It has witnessed how the Jewish refugees lived in Shanghai and remembered that phase of the history quietly.
After the World War II, what the Jews in Shanghai left there are not only the high reputation of eminent magnates and some great architecture along the Bund, but also their spiritual home-----Synagogue, in which you could get to know more profound about this nation who suffered a lot at that time.

Ohel Moishe Synagogue is build by Russian Jews. When Shanghai people restored this building, they did their best to make it look exactly the same as before where Russian Jews and then European Jewish refugees worshiped. On the third floor, there is an exhibition hall with many pictures for reflecting the life of Shanghai Jews in Hongkou. The attic was used to be the dwelling for the family of Russian Jewish Levinsky who became a famous writer later. But he didn't forget this small Shanghai home, so, 75-year-old Levinsky insisted coming back to the home with his wife in April,2004. Looking at his former residence, the old man was filled with all sorts of feelings in his mind. Ever since Ohel Moishe Synagogue was enlarged into Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum, it is not a functioning place of worship anymore.

The second exhibition hall was built at the end of 2007. More than 140 photos are dispalying there.Many high technological ways are also used for showing the life of Jews in Shanghai, such as a multi-screen, a short video recording the Jewish refugees living in Shanghai. Meanwhile, those oil paintings and sculptures have made that stage of history come alive. Besides, duplication of a refugee’s passport, the Shanghai Jewish Chronicle, and a large stone tablet engraved with Rabin’s inscription are also on display. The visitors lingering on even have no thought of leaving due to the joint efforts of historians and artists.
The third exhibition hall was completed in May of 2008 and many exhibitions are held there sometimes.
To all the Jews in the world, the word "Shanghai " has been recorded into the Jewish culture. Although many Jews moved to other places after the second World War, they still missed Ohel Moishe Synagogue in Shanghai.Therefore, many Jews who have lived in Hongkou at that time, rushed to Shanghai with their family nowadays and show their appreciation to Shanghai people.
