Having visited the Shanghai
Jewish Refugees Museum several times, Mr. Edward Shapira expressed his
affection for the museum. The history about Shanghai providing shelter for
Jewish refugees during the WWII, meant a great deal for the Jewish people. The
Israeli Consulate in Shanghai hoped that every Israeli could visit the museum
when they come to Shanghai for any purpose. To facilitate this goal, the Israeli
Consulate in Shanghai would enhance promotion of the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum.
Moreover, the consulate would also organize a variety of cultural and tourist
activities together with the museum to attract more Israelis and foreign
tourists.
Ms. Cheng Meihong, the Deputy
Director agreed on the early planning for cultural and tourist events during
pandemic time. Shanghai Municipality would appreciate more publicity for
tourism and business in Shanghai from the Israeli side. On the other side, the
municipality would also promote Israeli sightseeing and cultural resources to Shanghai
people. Both sides could have closer cooperation and more exchanges in term of
tourism after the pandemic. Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and
Tourism also welcomed Israeli guests to pay more visits to the Shanghai Jewish
Refugees Museum.
Mr. Chen Ping, the head of
publicity of the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism, Mr. Chen
Jian, the Curator of the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum, Ms. Mor Ben Moshe, the
Deputy Consul General of Israel in Shanghai and Mr. Roy Kriezman, the Consul of
