An Hotel for War refugies.
Hi, i found this photo and part of news for sale on a auction site for 50 euros, crazy price for a photo and piece of paper, but since im not interested in buying it, never mind.
But what i like is the information on it. "Hotel Netto" was an hotel situated in Sintra, that was specialized in giving a bed and roof to jews and foreign war refugies. The photo was taken in 1941 and shows a bus load of american refugies, that were going to spend the night before catching the ship for america the next day. This hotel is not very far from where i work, i went there today to take some photos of it. Here`s how it looks today.
Cheers.
Nuno

Re: An Hotel for War refugies.
Nice "then and now" comparison. Always interesting to see if places have changed much since the war.
Cheers, Ade.
