This list of Sousa Mendes visa recipients was assembled by an all-volunteer team of researchers using a variety of sources including the surviving fragmentary visa registry list from Bordeaux; passenger lists for ships leaving Lisbon in 1940-41; files from the Antwerp Felix Archives and the Archives of the Royal Library of Belgium; files from the Portuguese Foreign Ministry; and other research tools and databases. As this is a work in progress, please contact us with any corrections or additions.
Our deepest gratitude goes to members of the Sousa Mendes family as well as visa recipient families who contributed, and continue to contribute, to this project with photographs, artifacts, documentation, information, and personal testimonials.
