In mid-June 1977 the Israeli freighter Yuvali took 66 Vietnamese refugees aboard in the South China Sea. Contemporaneous JTA dated the rescue 9 June; a later reconstruction dates it 10 June. The group reached Israel on 27 June after Menachem Begin offered asylum.
On this day, February 18, 1943, Japanese authorities in occupied Shanghai ordered stateless refugees, most of them Jews, into a designated area of Hongkou.
After November 1938, Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria began reaching Shanghai in large numbers. The movement followed Kristallnacht and is not dated as a single landing day.
