World Today

The Shanghai Ghetto in China is about two and a half square kilometers in size. A small area to be sure, but which played an important role during World War II.

It provided shelter for thousands of Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis during the war. A documentary featuring interviews with survivors has been released and diplomats from both China and Israel watched the screening together. CCTV’s Zhao Yunjie filed this report.
