    Abstract: This chapter reflects on the narrative of the Shanghai Jews that has taken shape in China with government-sponsored research and commemoration. The chapter is based on interviews and correspondence with professors at the Center of Jewish Studies Shanghai, and the directors of the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum. With support from the Chinese government, both institutions are dedicated to producing and publicizing a narrative that portrays the Chinese as saviors of the Jewish refugees, one that places China favorably in international relations.

    Abstract: The Introduction articulates the goals of the present volume, namely, to broaden the scope of the historical narrative pertaining to the history of the Shanghai Jews and investigate the interaction of Jews with Chinese, Japanese, and non-Jewish Westerners. All the contributors to the volume provide new insights on the general theme of “interaction and exchange.” Under this general theme, four sub-themes appear: (1) Placing the History of the Shanghai Jews within Various Historical Contexts; (2) Cultural Life of Refugees in Shanghai; (3) The Jews Sojourning in Shanghai after the War; and (4) Commemoration of the History of the Shanghai Jews. After providing a summary the main findings within each sub-theme, the Introduction offers reflections on how the new pathways of research presented in the volume enhance our understanding of the history of the Shanghai Jews.

    Abstract: This volume provides a historical narrative, historiographical reviews, and scholarly analyses by leading scholars throughout the world on the hitherto understudied topic of Shanghai Jewish refugees. Few among the general public know that during the Second World War, approximately 16,000 to 20,000 Jews fled the Nazis, found unexpected refuge in Shanghai, and established a vibrant community there. Though most of them left Shanghai soon after the conclusion of the war in 1945, years of sojourning among the Chinese and surviving under the Japanese occupation generated unique memories about the Second World War, lasting goodwill between the Chinese and Jews, and contested interpretations of this complex past. The volume makes two major contributions to the studies of Shanghai Jewish refugees. First, it reviews the present state of the historiography on this subject and critically assesses the ways in which the history is being researched and commemorated in China. Second, it compiles scholarship produced by renowned scholars, who aim to rescue the history from isolated perspectives and look into the interaction between Jews, Chinese, and Japanese
