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.
