ОписаниеHaggadah printed in China, in German and Hebrew. It was used for Pesach by Paul and Johanna Neugasser (New) in Shanghai.
Paul was born in 1914 in Vienna. German troops occupied Austria on 12 March 1938. Before 1938, the Jewish community was one of the largest in Europe numbering some 185,000. On the eve of Kristallnacht, 9-10 November 1938, Viennese synagogues and temples were destroyed. 6,547 Jews were arrested; Paul was one of them. He spent two weeks in prison with 20 people in a cell. Upon release, he left the next morning for Italy with his wife, headed for Shanghai, the only port that did not require visas. After the war, they left Shanghai and immigrated to Australia, arriving in 1946.
Part of a collection of items including a Vienna Telephone directory, published in May 1938, a Chinese commercial lease enabling Paul Neugasser to lease land, his wife Johanna (nee Frank) Shanghai Jewish Refugees ID document identifying her as a Jew and a milliner, and a special edition of the Shanghai Jewish Chronicle announcing the start of the war, 3 September 1939.
