After the welcoming speech of Dr. Lednitzky András, the president of the Jewish Religious Community in Szeged, the Honorary Consul of Israel, the photo exhibition was opened by Dr. Ujhelyi István, the president of SZTE Confucius Institute, the Hungarian Representative of the European Parliament.

Dr. Ujhelyi Istvan said in his opening speech that the exhibition recalls such a story what we in Europe do not know that much. During the Second World War, Shanghai gave home for more than a thousand Jewish refugees who fled from the spread of Nazism. This act shows the generosity of the Chinese people.

The Jewish refugees were also supported and helped in such a great need as well by a Hungarian businessman, and also, Honorary Consul of Shanghai called Komor Pál. The photo exhibition represents all the own, privately owned family photos and documents of the Jewish refugees living in Shanghai. The photos recall the everyday lives of the Jewish community living in Shanghai.
