Jewish Refugee Museum, 63 Changyang Lu, Hongkou. North of the center and housed inside the former Ohel Moshe Synagogue, this small museum offers a glimpse into the development of the Jewish community in Shanghai. Although the first Jewish settlers came with the British in the 19th century, during the Holocaust Shanghai was one of the only places in the world accepting Jewish refugees without the need for even a passport. Between 1937 and 1939, 30,000 Jewish refugees arrived and the Chinese are fondly remembered for their tolerant attitude, but when the Japanese seized control, Jews were rounded up and forced to live in Hongkou’s ghettoes. The museum has photos and a historical video that detail day-to-day life within the ghetto community.
Lu Xun Park, 146 Dongjiangwang Lu. This pleasant park is dedicated to China’s most famous 20th-century novelist, Lu Xun; inside, you’ll find his tomb, a statue and a museum with an extensive collection of his works, photos and personal effects.
