Jews in China

Historically there have been several populations of Jews in China.

• One group lived in Kaifeng and immigrated there during the Song dynasty.
• After the Russian Revolution of 1917, several thousand Russian Jews moved to Harbin.
• Another wave of Jews, from Germany immigrated to Shanghai in the 1930s. Shanghai at the time was an open city and did not have restrictions on immigration.

After World War II, most of these Jews immigrated to Israel, although a few remained.
