harbin jewish museum


The Harbin Museum of Jewish History and Culture is a significant site that commemorates the Jewish diaspora in Harbin, China, from the early 1900s to the 1950s. Housed in the former New Synagogue of Harbin, the museum presents a rich tapestry of Jewish life through exhibits of photographs, documents, and personal items from the once-thriving community of over 20,000 Jewish residents. The museum not only showcases the contributions of the Jewish people to Harbin's development but also serves as a poignant reminder of the cultural diversity that characterized the city during the first half of the 20th century.
