In 1938 when much of the world closed its doors to Jews, Shanghai opened hers. Over 20,000 Jews found sanctuary in Shanghai.

This webinar will open a conversation about the decision to take in Jewish refugees, the relationships built by Jews and Chinese during this period and after, the historic friendship between these two peoples.
The presentations and small group dialogue will explore ideas and opportunities for future collaboration between Jewish and Chinese communities. The event consists of short presentations and facilitated dialogue in breakout groups. Moderator is Tracy Xu, and featured speakers are Dr. Xu Xin, leading Judaic studies expert in China, and Annette Poizner, author of "Weaving the Way: Jewish and Chinese Teachings for a Fractured World." This book is available as a free download for participants.
