The place became a ghetto where both Jews and Chinese shared years of hardship. Today this poor neighborhood of Shanghai hold much of its 1940’s character." ... you do remember what maurice had to say about the japanese, do you not, about how china would be in effect better off had japan had its way?dangoor.com "the Japanese announced that bulletin of establishing an 'insulation area for Jews." [hongkew district] about the photo haruth.com that maurice reseached and commented <<Here is a photo of a couple of policemen welcoming a Jew [so says the title anyway]>> the caption of the photo says precisely ...Policeman investigating transport of "suspicious goods" i.e. matzah for Passover - Hongkew - Shanghai Photo: H. Eisfelder. ... but maurice failed to mention several key points, them being: (a) hongkew is where the japanese militarists herded the jews to after invasion of china, (b) the policeman worked for the empire of japan that maurice so wished to have won in asia (c) the policemen carried guns, and so are more likely than not japanese nationals, or their lackys so favored by brian h and maurice ... maybe your point was something else all together... you cannot believe that 20,000 jews did not enter shanghai, do you? do you think the chinese civil war and social chaos should have spared the jews with their shops? do not think that collective punishment is right? so, what is then your point? maurice lies, repeatedly
