Jewish refugees in Lisbon

University of Lisbon Center for English Studies

During this IWalk you will learn about the Jewish community of Lisbon who played a major role in helping Jewish refugees who were fleeing from Nazi-occupied countries in the Second World War. With the help of the Portuguese Jewish community, thousands of European Jewish refugees were able to safely pass through Portugal and survive the war.

This work has been funded by national funds through the Portuguese funding agency FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. within the framework of the project Remembering the Past, Learning for the Future: Research-Based Digital Learning from Testimonies of Survivors and Rescuers of the Holocaust in Portugal (ID: 740639658).
