Photos: Landmark Jewish cafe reopens in Shanghai

A replica of White Horse Cafe which was a popular gathering place for Jewish refugees during the World War II opens at the original site, Tilanqiao area in Shanghai's Hongkou District on Aug. 26, 2015, restoring the appearance it was more than 70 years ago. The cafe first opened in 1939. This photo shows that people visit the reopening cafe on the second floor.

1939年,一位名为鲁道夫·莫斯伯格的犹太人和自己的亲友,盘下了长阳路临潼路口的一座小楼,开起了咖啡店,起名“白马咖啡馆”,使之成为当时犹太难民日常聚集场所之一。2015年年初,虹口区政府对白马咖啡馆进行了一比一复建,完全复原70多年前咖啡馆大堂原貌。图为市民在复建的白马咖啡馆二楼参观。
