About the Family

The RAISKY family are known to have received visas signed by Vice-Consul Manuel Vieira Braga following instructions from Aristides de Sousa Mendes in Bayonne, France in June 1940. They were in transit along with the FRIEDMANN and ROISEN families.

They crossed into Portugal and subsequently sailed on the vessel Marques de Comillas from Lisbon to New York in September 1940.
