Ohel Moishe Synagogue and Huoshan Park

Ohel Moishe Synagogue and Huoshan Park Review

Currently called the Jewish Refugee Memorial Hall of Shanghai, the Ohel Moishe Synagogue served as the spiritual heart of Shanghai's Jewish ghetto in the 1930s and '40s. In this sanctuary-turned-museum, whose restoration was completed in 2008, visitors can see a reconstruction of the main room of the synagogue and see artworks inspired by the story of Jews in Shanghai. An outside building has photos, newspaper clippings, and a film (narrated in Chinese).

Around the corner, down a lane just as well preserved, Huoshan Park bears a memorial tablet in the immigrants' honor.
