The “Nyassa”, carrying refugees from Europe, reaching Haifa, February 1944

In World War II, Portugal refrained from absorbing foreign immigrants, due to economic difficulties and the fear of social tensions and the introduction of ideas that did not fall into line with the "National Spirit".  Portugal only permitted entry to Jews who had immigration permits to another country, so that these Jews would only be passing through on their way to their final destination.
