This looks interesting. It is only on for one week, finishing this Friday, 29th October. Note requirement to bring HKID or Passport for entry:

The Hong Kong Heritage Project and The Jewish Historical Society of Hong Kong are pleased to announce the opening of their new exhibition "The Jews in Shanghai and Hong Kong". The exhibition opens on October 25 and runs until October 29 at the Jewish Community Centre. Entry is free!

The exhibition tells the story of the Jewish refugees who escaped from Nazi Europe to Shanghai, one of the only visa-free places in the world at that time, where they were supported by the existing Jewish communities of Shanghai and Hong Kong. The exhibition uses photos, documents and oral histories from HKHP's Archive, as well as materials from the JHS library.
