Jacob Gesang - Leo Baeck Institute (lbi.org)
founded a publishing house and bookstore in Shanghai in 1939. His businesses were forced to close when all stateless refugees, mostly Jewish, were moved into a ghetto in 1943. He and his wife remained in Shanghai until 1947.
Beginning in 1911, Gesang had been director of the bookstore and publishing house C. Boas Nachf. During Kristallnacht, his business was destroyed. The remaining books had to be sold to the Jüdischer Kulturbund.
