About Hidden History: Recounting the Shanghai Jewish Story
Explore the little-known history of the diverse, resettled Jewish community in Shanghai, including Iraqi Jews who arrived in the mid-1800s, Russian Jews who fled pogroms at the turn of the century, and German and Austrian Jews who desperately escaped the Nazis. 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.

At the age of 19, Jewish soldier Nathan Hilu was assigned to guard Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials. He went on to channel his memories into compellingly manic, childlike art, aka “Nathanism,” which this film brings to life through vivid animations. 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

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.
