Germany massacred Jews during World War II, so Jews fled all over the world. Because all countries in the world need visas and passports, Jews escaped from Germany without passports and had no time to apply for visas. The only place in the world that didn't need a visa at that time was Shanghai, which was not particularly backward. As a result, about 20,000 Jews sneaked into Shanghai or took refuge in other countries' ships. But after all, Shanghai was also in the hands of the Japanese. These Jews are in a particularly miserable situation, unable to make a living because of their language barriers. At that time, Shanghai residents just felt sorry for the people who came, all of them were white, so they took out the best food they could at that time to help these Jews. It is said that Shanghainese didn't have enough to eat at that time, and some Jews could get chicken legs from Shanghainese. Therefore, the gratitude of the Jews who came to Shanghai to China is indescribable.
Later, after World War II, many Jews in Shanghai went to Israel. Because China and the Arab League are allies. China strives to develop friendly relations with Arab countries. And Israel and Arab countries are not * * *, and Arab countries are stubborn. As you know, China can only keep denying Israel.
Don't underestimate that China only saved these 20,000 Jews at that time, and there were hundreds of thousands of Jews all over the world. Many of their descendants have now become important leaders of Israel. I remember that the father of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the Jews who took refuge in Shanghai that year.
