About the Family

The POLDERMAN family resided in Figueira da Foz, Portugal, in the summer of 1940, presumably after having received visas from Aristides de Sousa Mendes.

They traveled from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro on the vessel Quanza in December 1940/January 1941.

Fabrice POLDERMAN, who was a Belgian professor of history, wrote two books during the war, both published in Brazil: La Bataille de Flandre (1943) and Léopold III et le destin de la Belgique (1944).
