Lisbon — Harbor of Hope

Hosted By: Sousa Mendes Foundation

View Pavel Schnabel‘s award-winning film, Lisbon — Harbor of Hope, then join us for the discussion. The film follows several Jewish families who escaped Nazi Germany to Lisbon from 1933-38, before the outbreak of war. For those families it was still permissible to settle in Portugal, and the film interviews several of these survivors. The Sousa Mendes story is also told, through the diplomat’s son, Pedro Nuno de Sousa Mendes, who was a witness and participant in his father’s rescue action.
