Ohel Moshe Synagogue
(Sights & Activities - Religious Sites)
62 Changyang Rd
Shanghai

Description:
YANGPU. Russian immigrants built this synagogue in 1927. From the mid-1800s through World War II, the city was a refuge for people escaping religious persecution. Through the use of photographs and written documentation, the museum chronicles the area's Jewish influence and Hongkou's ghetto life. Because of communist rule, the area north of the Suzhou Creek is where local Jews where forced to live after 1943. The museum was restored and is now considered a symbol of religious tolerance and acceptance.
