American refugees in lisbon

[António Fragoeiro]

Hi, i thought you guys might like to see this movie from the Steven Spielberg video archive.
Its shows american refugees trying to aquire tickets to get get back to mainland US in 1942. Its great to see the imense effort of these people trying to get back to their familys and their lifes.
Later on i will show a movie of jewish refugees living on my grandmother`s home town.

I imagine the happines of all those people on board the ships, knowing that in a matter of days they would be arriving at the complete freedom and safety of their homeland.
