By the 1920s, B'nai B'rith membership in Europe had grown to 17,500, nearly half of the U.S. membership, and by the next decade, the formation of a lodge in [[Shanghai]] (number 1102) represented the organization's entry into the Far East.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/KhaosOdenslandArchiveDocstheMisanthropicMisogynist/EncyclopaediaJudaicaV.04blu-cof_djvu.txt |title=Full text of "Khaos Odensland Archive DOCS (The Misanthropic Misogynist)" |access-date=2012-07-23}}</ref> The Shanghai lodge established the [[Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University|B'nai B'rith Foundation Polyclinic]] in 1934, later renamed the Shanghai Jewish Hospital.<ref name="Malek2017">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oicxDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT306|title=From Kaifeng to Shanghai: Jews in China|last=Malek|first=Roman|date=2017|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-1-351-56628-5|page=306}}</ref>

B'nai B'rith Europe was re-founded in 1948. Members of the Basel and Zurich lodges and representatives from lodges in France and Netherlands who had survived the Holocaust attended the inaugural meeting. In 2000, the new European B'nai B'rith district merged with the United Kingdom district to become a consolidated B'nai B'rith Europe with active involvement in all institutions of the European Union. By 2005 B'nai B'rith Europe comprised lodges in more than 20 countries including the former Communist Eastern Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bnaibritheurope.org/bbeurope/en |title=Welcome to the B'nai B'rith Europe website |publisher=Bnaibritheurope.org |access-date=2012-07-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbuk.org/ |title=Home |publisher=Bbuk.org |access-date=2012-07-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190116114246/https://bbuk.org/ |archive-date=2019-01-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1943, in response to what would later become known as the Holocaust, B'nai B'rith President [[Henry Monsky]] convened a conference in [[Pittsburgh]] of all major Jewish organizations to "find a common platform for the presentation of our case before the civilized nations of the world".<ref>{{cite book|last1=Troen|first1=S Ilan|last2=Pinkus|first2=Benjamin|title=Organizing Rescue: National Jewish Solidarity in the Modern Period|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=idY2LUHAjFQC|access-date=10 December 2012|year=1992|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=978-0-7146-3413-5|page=326}}</ref>
