About the Family
The WOLFF family received visas from Aristides de Sousa Mendes in Bordeaux on June 17, 1940 after having been explicitly denied by Salazar, the Portuguese head of state.
They crossed into Portugal and traveled to Cuba. From there they sailed to New York on the vessel Veragua in October 1940.
