As a large number of displaced Jewish persons came to Shanghai, the Jewish rich-men in Shanghai, the associations and the HICEM took measures to help and save these penniless Jewish newcomers.

In 1938, Sir.E.Kadoorie, the member of Kadoorie family and a Jewish merchant-prince in Shanghai, called for organizing the Committee for the Assistance of European Jewish Refugees Shanghai. This committee owned a lot of Jews celebrity and rich-men. By 1938, they had raised 8000 US dollars. Another member of this family also established Rejuvenation Funds to help some Jewish refugees to build up some small firms for self-saving. The third key character of Sassoon family, Victor Sassoon spent 150,000 US Dollars as the special sum of money in Rejuvenation Funds. He also donated the riverside building on No.400 on Suzhou Road as the asylum of Shanghai Jewish Refugee. Abraham family as the same rich family in Shanghai opened the public kitchens and supplied food for nearly 600 refugees per day. The Committee for the Assistance of European Jewish Refugees Shanghai since 1939 established many Jewish Refugee Camps on Huoshan Road, Changyang Road, Anguo Road and so on in Shanghai. 

Meanwhile, overseas Jewish organization also offered many helps to Shanghai Jewish refugees. For instance, the HICEM (international relief organization for Jewish refugees) offered Jewish people many services in consultation, communication and loans. The most highlighted organization was American JDC (American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee) which established its branch-office in Shanghai in 1939. They wrote the summary report on Jewish People in Shanghai regularly and collected a large amount of donations in America. These donations became the main source of the outlay their spent to help Jewish people. Other emigrants from different countries living in Shanghai, some Chinese churches and some non-Jewish charities also offered their helps to these Jewish Refugees.

After 13 August in 1937, Shanghai residents also became the refugees but they also overcame many difficulties to selflessly help these European refugees. Especially the people in Hongkou District vacated their own houses for Jewish Refugees. A great many Chinese hospitals also tried their all-out best to save these Jewish people, although they were in trouble of lacking medicine.

Although, later the evil Japanese troops occupied the refugee camps, and many helps had to be stopped, but many Chinese people and international organization still tried to help these Jewish refugees.
