Shanghai
Shanghai, a port city in China, became a refuge for thousands of European Jews during World War II, including the Mir Yeshiva, which relocated there from Kobe, Japan, in 1941 and continued its studies in the Shanghai ghetto for the duration of the war -- the only major European yeshiva to survive the Holocaust intact.
