Fred Rosenbaum & Prof. Yong Chen—From Animosity to Solidarity: Jews and Chinese in San Francisco from the Gold Rush to the Present (Zoom only)

In partnership with Congregation Beth Am

No group was more oppressed during San Francisco’s first century than its large, vibrant Chinese community. Jews, by contrast, were among the city’s most prominent corporate and civic leaders—and part of the dominant white society that persecuted Asian Americans. There were also, however, beneficial interactions between the groups. The relationship between the Chinese and Jews, ancient civilizations with many shared values, evolved in San Francisco’s second century to one of mutual support.
