china Tianjing | The history of Jews in Tianjin | saving pass for Jews in desperate situations.

A hundred years have passed in a flash. The history of Jews in Tianjin is like a sunken ship, deeply buried under the waves of time. However, those warm past events and the glory of human nature will always penetrate the dim sea waves and shine in people's hearts. Was Tianjin an ark or a paradise for Jews? Maybe for those who left in a hurry, it was more like a sacred ferry.
Due to the spread of the global economic crisis and the imminent threat of war, all countries strictly restricted immigrants from entering their territories, making it increasingly difficult for European Jewish refugees to find a place to escape. At the end of the 1930s, it was almost impossible to find a destination open to Jewish immigrants. And a visa with "Shanghai, China" written on it was like a life - saving pass for Austrian Jews in desperate situations.
