SEATTLE, 9 de janeiro de 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A Fundação Sousa Mendes quer identificar e localizar refugiados do Holocausto, aos quais foram concedidos vistos por Aristides de Sousa Mendes na primavera de 1940. Sousa Mendes, então cônsul de Portugal em Bordeaux, França, salvou cerca de 30.000 pessoas do Holocausto, segundo as estimativas. Ele o fez ao conceder aos refugiados vistos para entrar em Portugal, em transgressão a um documento emitido pelo governo português a seus consulados, a "Circular 14", que proibia terminantemente essa ajuda aos judeus. Por esse motivo, ele foi julgado pela ditadura de Salazar e severamente punido.

Aristides de Sousa Mendes morreu em 1954 na pobreza, oficialmente desacreditado e quase apagado da história. Em 1966, ele recebeu, postumamente, o título de "Justo Entre as Nações", concedido pela autoridade israelense do Holocausto, Yad Vashem. No final dos anos 80, o governo português pediu formalmente desculpas à família de Sousa Mendes e o promoveu, postumamente, ao posto de embaixador.

A Fundação Sousa Mendes, estabelecida em 2010 através de uma parceria formada entre a família do herói e as famílias dos judeus salvos por ele, começou uma busca sem precedentes pelos refugiados. Pessoas e famílias inteiras se deslocaram de todas as partes da Europa, receberam vistos portugueses no sul da França (Bordeaux, Bayonne, Hendaye ou Toulouse), em abril, maio e junho de 1940, e viajaram, em seguida, através da Espanha e de Portugal, de onde estavam espalhados, para os Estados Unidos, Canadá, Brasil, Reino Unido e outros países, de 1940 a 1942.

"A maioria das pessoas que foram salvas por Sousa Mendes não sabem que foram salvas por alguém", declarou o Dr. Sylvain Bromberger, professor emérito do Instituto de Tecnologia de Massachusetts (MIT – Massachusetts Institute of Technology) – um dos que tiveram a sorte de serem ajudados. Bromberger é membro do conselho da fundação e está ajudando nesse esforço. A pesquisa é encabeçada por outra integrante do conselho, a Dr. Olivia Mattis, em parceria com uma pesquisadora voluntária, a Srta. Marie J. Gomes.

Entre os recipientes dos vistos concedidos por Sousa Mendes, estavam alguns famosos, como Salvador Dali, Hans e Margret Rey (autores de Curious George), a família Habsburg, a família Rothschild e o cineasta King Vidor, entre outros. Mas a maioria dos recipientes eram de famílias comuns, fugindo dos horrores da perseguição nazista.

Para mais informações sobre como compartilhar qualquer conhecimento sobre recipientes de vistos ou suas famílias, por favor contate [email protected] ou visite o website da fundação em:  www.sousamendesfoundation.org
