About the Family

The SILBERFELD family was in Figueira da Foz, Portugal in July 1940, presumably after having received visas from Aristides de Sousa Mendes. They were explicitly denied visas by Salazar, the Portuguese head of state.

They sailed from Lisbon to Brazil on the vessel Serpa Pinto in August 1940.
