DALLAS， Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- It was a "greatest moment" in Chinese history that Shanghai had hosted many Jewish refugees during World War II， a well-known Dallas-based scholar said Friday.


"It's really a model for the 21st Century to seek，" Dennis Kratz， executive chair of the Confucius Institute Executive Board and Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities， University of Texas at Dallas (UTD)， said， commenting on a photo exhibition on the Jewish refugees in Shanghai.


"This ... made Shanghai an international community that welcomes and braces integrated others into its community，" he said.


The 30-day exhibition， jointly organized by the UTD Confucius Institute and the Ackerman Center of Holocaust Studies， displays 40 photos and dozens of artifacts on the life of Jewish refugees living in Shanghai some 70 years ago.


"Holocaust was one of the moments in history that represents the depth to which the humanity can sink. The corollary of this is that it represents the moment that community and government such as Shanghai can rise above the challenge that World War II began its post， to reach out and welcome refugees to ensure，" the scholar said.


Dennis， aged over 70， also stressed the importance of the U.S.-China relations， saying the two great countries must work together to build a new world.


"We established the Confucius Institute in 2007. It's now in its 10th year. I believe it's one of the most important introductions to this University. China and the United States are two great cultural powers， as well as intellectual and economic powers. We need to grow and get along， and collaborate a way to create a harmonious new world，" he said.


Some UTD students also showed keen interest in the exhibition， which opened on Sept. 1 and features a Chinese folk music concert， "Wind from the East，" on Sept. 25.


"This photo exhibition seems very interesting. I've never heard that Jewish refugees in Shanghai before. So it's very interesting to learn about that，" Keagon Mcdearmon， 20， said.


"I'm also very interested in it. My family was Jews from Russia. So I will learn more about Jews and how they escaped from their condition during World War II，" Amanda Karasic， 21， told Xinhua.


Natalie Nduku， 24， who is from Africa， said that "I actually have never heard of Jews migration during Holocaust to Shanghai. It's a very fascinating exhibition and an opportunity to learn as well."


Shi Lanxin， associate director of the Confucius Institute， said that this exhibition is special and it touches the Americans' hearts.


"This exhibition is an excellent one. It will touch American people's hearts. It has shown how nice and brave the Chinese people are through these events，" Shi said.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders shake hands before the start of the Democratic presidential candidates debate in Durham Evan Engram Giants Jersey , New Hampshire, February 4, 2016.

Democratic presidential contenders Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders take an increasingly combative tone into their first one-on-one debate on Thursday Men Landon Collins Jersey , cranking up a fight over who is best suited to lead the party's liberal agenda on the economy and healthcare.


Five days before New Hampshire voters render a judgment in the second of the state-by-state presidential nominating contests, Clinton and Sanders will square off on MSNBC at 9 p.m. EST (0200 Friday GMT) in Durham, New Hampshire.

Polls show Sanders Men Ereck Flowers Jersey , a U.S. senator from neighboring Vermont, has a comfortable lead over Clinton in New Hampshire after surprising the front-runner by managing a virtual tie with her in the kickoff contest in Iowa on Monday.


In the two days since, the Democrats have clashed sharply over who is more capable of carrying out the party's liberal proposals to battle income inequality Men Darian Thompson Jersey , bolster healthcare coverage and rein in Wall Street.


The exchanges intensified ahead of the debate, which will be the first since former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley dropped out on Monday night. It also is one of four debates Clinton and Sanders agreed to add to the schedule.


Sanders, a democratic socialist who has galvanized the party's liberal wing Men Sterling Shepard Jersey , accused Clinton on Wednesday of being a progressive on some days and a moderate on others. He cited her shifts on trade and energy policies and her 2003 Senate vote to back the Iraq war, which she has called a mistake.


Clinton said she was amused to see Sanders setting himself up as the "gatekeeper" for who was a progressive and that President Barack Obama would not qualify under his definitions.


"I know where I stand, I know who stands with me Men Eli Apple Jersey , I know what I’ve done," Clinton, a former secretary of state and U.S. senator Men Wayne Gallman Jersey , said at a town hall on Wednesday night where she and Sanders spoke separately.


Clinton has tried to play down expectations for her performance in New Hampshire, where she came from behind for an upset victory in the 2008 campaign just days after losing badly to Obama in Iowa.


The surprisingly strong performance by Sanders in Iowa is likely to prolong a race that Clinton entered as the prohibitive favorite.


In addition to previously scheduled debates in Wisconsin and Florida, the candidates added one in March in Flint Men Davis Webb Jersey , Michigan, to draw attention to the city's contaminated water crisis ahead of the Michigan primary. They also will debate in April and May.
