الوصف
In 1941-42 some 3,500 Jews of Spanish nationality lived in Nazi-occupied Europe, the majority in France. Most had received Spanish citizenship in the wake of the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. At least 801 Spanish Jews, and probably another 69, were repatriated to Spain from France and Greece. Of these, 155 were interned in Bergen-Belsen, where they were spared from deportation until the war ended. But Spain could have saved more Jews. The reason for not doing more was the Spanish government's fear of a larger, expanding Jewish community.
