With the coming of the second world war |
| [01:12.75] |
many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully, or desperately |
| [01:17.47] |
toward the freedom of the Americas |
| [01:20.11] |
Lisbon became the great embarkation point |
| [01:22.88] |
But not everybody could get to Lisbon directly |
| [01:26.32] |
And so a torturous, roundabout refugee trail sprang up |
| [01:31.26] |
Paris to Marseilles |
| [01:38.95] |
across the Mediterranean to Oran |
| [01:48.92] |
Then, by train or auto or foot, across the rim of Africa |
| [01:53.46] |
to Casablanca in French Morocco |
| [01:56.34] |
Here, the fortunate ones, through money or influence or luck |
| [02:01.44] |
might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon |
| [02:04.93] |
And from Lisbon to the New World |
| [02:07.45] |
But the others wait in Casablanca |
| [02:11.40] |
And wait and wait... |
| [02:15.00] |
and wait |
