Lives in Limbo: Jewish Refugees in Portugal, 1940–1945
23rd November 2022
The Alfred Wiener Holocaust Memorial Lecture
This lecture highlights the experiences of Jewish refugees fleeing from antisemitic persecution and from World War II to Portugal. It describes how they were treated, how they attempted to escape Europe, and how they struggled in a “no-man’s land” between a painful past and an unknown future. Listening to their voices may help us to understand Jewish heartbreak and perseverance in the 1940s and encourage us to listen compassionately to refugees’ stories today.
