Death camp exhibit opens in Shanghai

Almost 70 years after the liberation of the largest Nazi-era concentration camp, Poland's Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum has brought an Auschwitz exhibition to China for the first time to give Shanghai residents a clear understanding of the horrors of the "death camp".

Along with 30 display boards illustrating acts of brutality committed by Nazi soldiers came Jewish people's thanks to Shanghai for its offer of refuge to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution in the 1930s.

"This is what would happen to Jews who weren't lucky like those saved by the people of Shanghai during World War II," said Miroslaw Obstarczyk, curator of Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum's exhibition department.

Auschwitz, built after the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, was the largest of Adolf Hitler's concentration camps. It included three main camps and 45 satellite camps. Rudolf Hoss, the death camp's first commandant, testified after the war at the Nuremberg trials that up to 3 million people died there, 2.5 million of them gassed, the others succumbing to disease and starvation - the actual figures will never be known, but today it is thought that 1.3 million people died at Auschwitz and more than 90 percent of them were Jews.

According to Krzysztof Smyk, consul general of Poland in Shanghai, pre-war Jewish Poles constituted about 10 percent of the country's population and more than 25 percent of them were artists, writers, lawyers and doctors. "Almost all of them were killed, and many in Auschwitz, where thousands of Poles and other European non-Jews also lost their lives," Smyk said.

The help Shanghai offered was a ray of hope to the Jewish people at that time. The city received nearly 30,000 Jewish refugees during World War II, and many arrived thanks to Ho Feng Shan, the former Chinese consul general in Vienna, who issued thousands of visas to Shanghai for Jewish refugees.

In the late 1930s, when increasing Nazi pressure to rid their territories of Jews created waves of refugees desperate to emigrate, most Western nations, including the United States, wouldn't open their doors to Jews. Shanghai was the last resort.

When Steven Dwoskin, whose father-in-law survived a Nazi concentration camp, came to the exhibition and heard about Shanghai being a haven for Jews during the war, he said he was overwhelmed. "It's incredible that they (the Chinese) would do this - it's not their people and it's not their problem, it's the world's problem," he said.

According to Chen Jian, the curator of Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum, where the exhibition is held, the exhibition will be on long-term display. Video records and re-created camp items, such as prisoners' uniforms and cages where prisoners were kept and abused, are also included in the exhibition.
