Injustiça
Describes the tragedy of Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese consul general in Bordeaux, France, who was suspended and tried by his government (1940) for having granted visas to some 10,000 Jewish refugees fleeing from the Nazi occupation in 1940. All Portuguese consuls received formal orders to deny visas to most refugees: undesirables, anti-Nazis, and especially Jews. Mendes was accused of disobedience to Salazar's policies, and of thereby harming neutral Portugal's relations with Nazi Germany and Franco's Spain. Mendes died in poverty in 1954. He was rehabilitated only in 1988 at the instigation of Portuguese and Jewish groups in the USA and Israel. During his career, he was sometimes suspected of Converso ancestry.

We Don't Become Refugees by Choice
This book traces the life of Maria Mia Truskier, who fled the Nazis as a young Polish Jew in early 1940 and once safely resettled in the United States, became an activist for other refugees, earning renown in the Bay Area as “the oldest refugee” of the East Bay Sanctuary Covenant. Mia worked for decades assisting those fleeing from war, violence and hardship, mainly from Central America and Haiti. Based on extensive interviews with Truskier before she passed away, as well as memorabilia from her own lifetime, including coded letters, newspaper clippings, and old photographs, this book results in a complex and multi-layered oral history. As Mia drew on memories of her life in Europe and World War II, she was situating and constructing those memories while re-reading and discovering these artifacts alongside the author of this book, and ultimately relating the ways that she and her family years later sought to make a difference for other refugees, drawing a connection between two major eras of human displacement: the end of World War II and today.
Portuguese Jews, New Christians, and ‘New Jews’
In Portuguese Jews, New Christians and ‘New Jews’ Claude B. Stuczynski and Bruno Feitler gather some of the leading scholars of the history of the Portuguese Jews and conversos in a tribute to their common friend and a renowned figure in Luso-Judaica, Roberto Bachmann, on the occasion of his 85th birthday. The texts are divided into five sections dealing with medieval Portuguese Jewish culture, the impact of the inquisitorial persecution, the wide range of converso identities on one side, and of the Sephardi Western Portuguese Jewish communities on the other, and the role of Portugal and Brazil as lands of refuge for Jews during the Second World War. This book is introduced by a comprehensive survey on the historiography on Portuguese Jews, New Christians and 'New Jews' and offers a contribution to Luso-Judaica studies
The Reconstruction of Lisbon
This text exposes how Fado lyricists have appropriated popular novelist and playwright Julio Dantas' forging of Mouraria fadista/prostitute Maria Severa as a national heroine, and the Fado as Portugal's national song to manifest a sub-rosa criticism of the Estado Novo's demolition of the Mouraria between the 1930s and 1970s.
O Teto: Ideias sem Anestesia para Respostas de Veias Abertas
O Teto – Ideias sem anestesia para respostas de veias abertas é um balanço de vida emocionante, dinâmico e bem-humorado feito por um paciente chamando para uma conversa séria a respeito de viver. É uma narrativa para alimentar a jovialidade do espírito e para as pessoas que questionam a passagem do tempo.

Ao mesmo tempo é revelador quando se trata de um convite para perceber o mundo sob outros olhares na alegri...
