Step
11: Display :
Option 1 –
Commemorative ceremony for graves – opening of the New Jewish
Cemetery of Shanghai (possibly located in a section of the Shanghai
Buddhist Cemetery).
Option 2
– Finding location in Shanghai ( such a warehouse ) best
in the old Jewish Ghetto area were many tourists visit. If needed
renting a place and displaying the stones and other pictures and
information about the search. One preferred option for that is
displaying the stones in the inner yard of Ohel Moshe The old
Ghetto Synagogue that is now a Jewish Museum.
* Display options maybe subject to the support or permit of the
Shanghai authorities.
