Harbin’s Jewish community: prayer, aid and public institutions
Harbin’s Jewish community built a synagogue, school and library while organizing aid for wounded soldiers and refugees in the early twentieth century.
Harbin’s Jewish heritage is preserved across several locations, including two synagogues, a school and neighboring buildings. Their separate sites and protection boundaries trace a community history through the city while retaining each property’s own architectural character.
