Sir Michael’s family was among the founders of the Jewish community in Hong Kong and left an ongoing legacy, not only in the Jewish community but in the wider Hong Kong community as well. His grandfather persuaded the trustees of the Ohel Leah Synagogue to allow a Jewish Club to be built on synagogue land and helped fund the building. His father, Lord Lawrence Kadoorie, and uncle Sir Horace were generous benefactors who involved themselves personally in the welfare of those in need - from the Kadoorie Agricultural Aid Association, which Sir Horace founded, to making the Peninsula Hotel available to house the waves of emigrating Jewish refugees from Shanghai after WWII. Sir Michael carries on this legacy with energetic dedication and his interview will allow us a personal insight into the life and times of the Kadoorie family in Hong Kong.
