犹太难民纪念馆揭幕“上海名单”   2014-09-03

 

A MEMORIAL was unveiled yesterday at the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum to acknowledge the 13,732 people who fled Europe to escape persecution by the Nazis during World War II.

The structure comprises a statue of six Jewish people standing beside a 37-meter-long, 2.5-meter-high copper wall, on which has been etched the names of all the Jewish people known to have taken shelter in Shanghai.

The statue symbolizes the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust, its creator, Chinese-American artist He Ning, told a press conference yesterday.
