An award-winning historian presents an emotional history of Jewish
refugees biding their time in Portugal as they attempt to escape
Nazi Europe This riveting book describes the dramatic experiences
of Jewish refugees as they fled Hitler's regime and then lived in
limbo in Portugal until they could reach safer havens abroad.
Drawing attention not only to the social and physical upheavals
these refugees experienced, Marion Kaplan also highlights their
feelings as they fled their homes and histories, while having to
beg strangers for kindness. Portugal's dictator, Antonio de
Oliveira Salazar, admitted the largest number of Jews fleeing
westward-tens of thousands of them-but then set his secret police
on those who did not move along quickly enough. Yet Portugal's
people left a lasting impression on refugees for their caring and
generosity. Most refugees in Portugal showed strength and stamina
as they faced unimagined challenges. An emotional history of
fleeing, this book probes how specific locations touched refugees'
inner lives, including the borders they nervously crossed or the
overcrowded transatlantic ships that signaled their liberation.
