Join us for a special lecture with Sonja Mühlberger, whose parents fled to Shanghai in 1939 after her father was imprisoned in a concentration camp for four weeks. Following her mother’s efforts to secure his release, the family settled in Shanghai, where Sonja was born. She is among more than 400 children born to Jewish refugee parents in Shanghai during World War II.
Ms. Mühlberger will share her remarkable story. She has dedicated her life to telling the stories of how more than 20,000 Jewish refugees made Shanghai their home during the war. She has published books about her experience as well as spending decades building a database of Jewish refugees in Shanghai . She was the leading contributor to the extensive list of names inscribed on the memorial wall of the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum.
