Shanghai Survivor Talk: Michael Blumenthal

Virtual

W. Michael Blumenthal narrowly escaped Nazi Germany when he was 13 and fled as a refugee to Shanghai where his family was eventually forced into the Hongkew Ghetto. He went on to become a business leader, economist, author, and political adviser who served as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under President Jimmy Carter, and later as director of the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Michael will share his family’s story of survival and accomplishment. This talk is presented in conjunction with Holocaust Museum LA’s Hidden History: Recounting the Shanghai Jewish Story exhibition.

Hidden History: Recounting the Shanghai Jewish Story is sponsored by the East West Bank Foundation and the Carl K. Moy and Linda C. Moy Family Foundation.
