Shanghai Bais Yaakov: Does Anyone Know What Happened to Them?

By Rabbi Yair Hoffman for 5tjt.com

It is called crowd-sourcing, and it is a very effective manner in getting recent history and information.  The topic is the Beis Yaakov in Shanghai during the war years.  The questions are- what was their post Shanghai history?  What did they or do they remember about their Bais Yaakov?  Were there any class pictures or other pictures?
