- Notes // Примечания: “Max Leibovich, one of the last members of the Shanghai Jewish refugee community died in Shanghai, aged 75 years old. Leibovich had been disabled by Parkinson’s disease for many years before his death and been attended by a former cook of the wartime refugee camp in Shanghai. Leibovich, who was born in Russia, came to Shanghai in the 1930s and operated a business there before and after the war. In recent years when travel into China was again possible, Leibovich was visited by a number of JDC leaders. They noted that the ravages of Parkinson’s disease had left Leibovich without the ability to speak clearly, but Leibovich, who had once spoken and read English, Russian, Yiddish and Chinese, could still hear and ‘his eyes would light up’ whenever a visitor would come to see him.”
