Flucht nach Mexiko - Deutsche im Exil
In 1941, Mexico became a country of refuge for refugees who were denied the United States because they were communists or were considered sympathizers of communism. In Marseille, which is overflowing with refugees, there is a Mexican consul who goes far beyond his duty, who issues thousands of visas, petitions German intellectuals imprisoned in French concentration camps and enables them to leave occupied France. In 1994, some former exiles went to Mexico and presented the 102-year-old ambassador with a certificate: "For Gilberto Bosques, whose human greatness will always be present in all of our hearts."
