ОписаниеDated 19 July, 1954 Shanghai, this document confirms that Denis Frederick Carver (born Fritz Schnitzer) was interned in Shanghai, China on the Japanese occupied Hongkew Ghetto district from May 18th 1943 until August 15 1945. This was the first step in the recognition of the suffering of Jews in the ghetto.
Carver’s passport (M2017/007:058), stamps with the red J, that signifies him as a Jew, reveals that he arrived in Shanghai on the 20 February 1939. He was a recognised bona fide refugee and registers with the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee Inc. The Anschluss of March 1938, which saw the annexation of Austria into Germany, signified the beginning persecution of Jews in Europe.
1938 was difficult for many Austrian-born Jews, after being encouraged to leave Austria and emigrate to Shanghai, the only open port accessible during this time in the world, the resilience Denis showed in escaping the fate of the Holocaust in European and the drive he had in resettling is admirable.
