With most countries limiting or denying entry to Jews during the 1930s, the free port of Shanghai became an unexpected safe haven for Jews attempting to flee the antisemitic policies and identity-based violence in Nazi-controlled Europe. Hidden History explores this multifaceted history of desperation, loss, and asylum through artifacts, survivor stories, and the photographic lens of prominent American photojournalist Arthur Rothstein, who documented the Shanghai Jewish community in 1946 for the United Nations.

Now in his 90s and living in NYC, Hilu is a chutzpah-filled outsider artist whose story probes the nature of truth and the power of the desire to be heard. – Karen McMullen

On Sunday, March 20, 1911, children playing in a cave near Kiev made a gruesome discovery: the blood-soaked body of a partially clad boy. After right-wing groups asserted that the killing was a ritual murder, the police, with no direct evidence, arrested Menachem Mendel Beilis, a 39-year-old Jewish manager at a factory near the site of the crime. Beilis’s trial in 1913 quickly became an international cause célèbre. The jury ultimately acquitted Beilis but held that the crime had the hallmarks of a ritual murder. Robert Weinberg’s book Blood Libel in Late Imperial Russia: The Ritual Murder Trial of Mendel Beilis explores the reasons why the tsarist government framed Beilis, shedding light on the excesses of antisemitism in late Imperial Russia.

Holocaust survivor Peter Gorog has no memories of his father, Árpád. Sent away in August 1940 by Hungarian authorities to perform forced labor, Árpád wrote home regularly to his wife and baby boy. In one letter, he wrote, “I gaze on the pictures I have, and they give me strength to struggle.” But at one point, the letters stopped. Then, in March 1944, after Nazi Germany occupied Hungary, Jews in Budapest faced increasing danger. Peter recalls sitting at the breakfast table as police charged in and took away his mother. Watch to discover what happened next.
