With the coming
-
of the Second World War...
|
2 |
00:01:15.000 |
00:01:19.000 |
|
-
...many eyes in imprisoned Europe
-
turned hopefully, or desperately...
|
3 |
00:01:19.340 |
00:01:22.000 |
|
-
...toward the freedom of the Americas.
|
4 |
00:01:22.240 |
00:01:24.870 |
|
-
Lisbon became
-
the great embarkation point.
|
5 |
00:01:25.080 |
00:01:28.240 |
|
-
But not everybody could get
-
to Lisbon directly.
|
6 |
00:01:28.680 |
00:01:32.350 |
|
-
And so a torturous, roundabout
-
refugee trail sprang up.
|
7 |
00:01:33.390 |
00:01:35.010 |
|
-
Paris to Marseilles...
|
8 |
00:01:41.030 |
00:01:43.690 |
|
-
...across the Mediterranean to Oran.
|
9 |
00:01:51.040 |
00:01:55.500 |
|
-
Then, by train or auto or foot,
-
across the rim of Africa...
|
10 |
00:01:55.710 |
00:01:58.200 |
|
-
...to Casablanca in French Morocco.
|
11 |
00:01:58.480 |
00:02:2.970 |
|
-
Here, the fortunate ones,
-
through money or influence or luck...
|
12 |
00:02:3.320 |
00:02:6.650 |
|
-
...might obtain exit visas
-
and scurry to Lisbon.
|
13 |
00:02:7.020 |
00:02:9.250 |
|
-
And from Lisbon to the New World.
|
14 |
00:02:9.460 |
00:02:12.650 |
|
-
But the others wait in Casablanca.
|
15 |
00:02:13.330 |
00:02:16.820 |
|
-
And wait and wait...
