“Shanghai: Safe Haven During the Holocaust” Virtual Tour
Join a virtual tour of the special exhibition, Shanghai: Safe Haven During the Holocaust, and explore the lesser-known stories of European Jewish refugees who escaped Nazism in the Shanghai ghetto. The virtual tour includes a video presentation with Chief Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, Arielle Weininger, and a live Q&A moderated by Museum personnel.
Arthur Rothstein, best-known for his Dust Bowl photography during the Great Depression, was the recipient of more than three dozen awards in photography and photojournalism throughout his career. One of his lesser-known projects included an assignment photographing the Jewish refugee community in Shanghai during World War II. These photographs – alongside artifacts donated by local Holocaust Survivors who lived in the Shanghai ghetto – are featured in the exhibition.
