SUMMARY:Harbor from the Holocaust and the Shanghai Ghetto
DESCRIPTION:Join the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh\, a program of The Tree of Life\, for our annual Kristallnacht commemoration featuring a 20 minute film screening of Harbor from the Holocaust\, which tells the story of nearly 20\,000 Jewish refugees who fled Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II to the Chinese port city of Shanghai. This documentary explores the extraordinary relationship of these Jews and their adopted city of Shanghai\, even through the bitter years of Japanese occupation 1937-1945 and the Chinese civil war that followed. \nThe film will be followed by a discussion with Iris Samson\, co-producer of Harbor from the Holocaust\, and Cindy Berg Vayonis\, a descendant of Holocaust survivors whose parents and grandparents found refuge in the Shanghai Ghetto. \nThe Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh’s annual Kristallnacht program is generously supported by Edgar Snyder. Co-sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University Askwith Family Chair of Holocaust\, Carnegie Mellon University Jack Buncher Chair in Jewish Studies\, Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Chinese Cultural Center\, University of Pittsburgh Jewish Studies Program\, and WQED. \nThe Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is a program of the Tree of Life. \nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1758226174819?aff=oddtdtcreator \n– \nMore About the Film: \nIt was a relationship that produced some exceptional artists\, statesmen and authors\, as well as “ordinary” people who survived to carry on their Jewish religion and traditions that would have otherwise been consigned to oblivion. \nThis documentary takes a captivating look at why Shanghai was uniquely positioned\, through geo-political\, cultural and historical influences\, to allow this remarkable influx to happen\, due to those past relations with Jews predominantly from the Middle East\, the Iberian Peninsula and Russia\, and because of its centuries of control by and openness to foreigners as a vigorous center of trade and commerce. \nThis story cannot be viewed in black and white\, good vs. evil\, suffering vs. thriving\, wealthy vs. poor. The story\, much like the city itself\, is nuanced and complex\, incorporating many kinds of foreigners\, many classes of Chinese\, many kinds of Jews\, and many layers. Shanghai was not a place of tolerance and openness\, so much as it was a place of fractionalized\, disparate forces which were sometimes competitive and sometimes complimentary\, but always existed within tenuous and often difficult transactional alliances. Even the people whose stories will be shared have very different tales of how they lived in Shanghai\, what their families experienced\, and how they were able to function on a day-to-day basis. \nRivaling all elements and in tragic contrast to those who could not escape\, this is a Holocaust story of life. \n– \nIf you would like to support the work of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh\, we would greatly appreciate your generosity! Even a gift of $18 helps us with our mission to preserve the stories of the Holocaust and to educate future generations. You can make your gift when you reserve your ticket or by clicking this link.
