Film screening and ceremony: Remembering Aristides de Sousa Mendes
Camp Gibraltar, on the island of Jamaica, was a safe haven during World War II for Jews escaping Nazi-occupied Europe. Some of the refugees who found respite there were Sousa Mendes visa recipients. Accordingly, Aristides de Sousa Mendes will be honored during a reunion of the families who once called Camp Gibraltar home.
