“顶好,谢谢侬!Me and 20,000 other people are eternally grateful to the people of Shanghai who saved our lives.”

“顶好,谢谢侬!我和其他两万多名犹太难民会永远感谢上海人民,感谢你们救了我们。”

Today marks the 75th Anniversary of Victory of World Anti-Fascist War, and the end of World War II. Jewish refugees who fled Nazi occupied Europe once referred to Shanghai as “Noah’s Ark”, as it was one of the last places on the planet willing to accept 20,000 Jewish refugees from the late 1930s to 1940s. As time marched on, the number of Jews who lived in the Hongkou ghetto during that period dwindled. Few are still alive to tell their stories, and fewer still, who can make the trip back to the city that was once their salvation. Our reporter Wu Yina met up with survivor Mr. Kurt Wick in the United Kingdom and learns of his connection to Shanghai. The 8,100 books of donation were shipped 9,200 kilometers from London to Shanghai.

今天是世界反法西斯战争胜利75周年,犹太难民曾经把上海称作东方的“诺亚方舟”,因为上海作为世界上为数不多城市,接纳了2万多名犹太难民。由于历史久远,如今幸存的历史亲历者越来越少,其中包括来自英国的Kurt Wick。8100本书,9200公里,Kurt Wick先生为上海犹太难民纪念馆捐赠的书从伦敦漂洋过海来到上海。
