About the Family

This family and their household staff received visas from Aristides de Sousa Mendes in Bordeaux, France in June of 1940 after being explicitly denied by António Salazar, the Portuguese head of state.

They crossed into Portugal and sailed on the vessel Nea Hellas from Lisbon to New York in October 1940.
