The Jews of Nagasaki, Japan (Kosher River Cruises)
Jewish History Lectures
The Jewish community of Nagasaki, Japan, represents a fascinating yet small chapter in Jewish diaspora history. Despite Japan's relatively limited interaction with Jewish populations, Nagasaki had a noteworthy Jewish presence, particularly due to its strategic significance as a port city. The video provides insights into the historical background of this unique community, including the challenges and contributions of Jews in Nagasaki amidst a predominantly non-Jewish environment. This exploration was conducted as part of research for a Kosher River Cruise expedition to Japan and South Korea, aiming to uncover lesser-known Jewish histories in Asia.
