Channel: Bristol Community College
Date: 2014-11-14

On October 31, 2014 BCC celebrated the life and work of Aristide Sousa Mendes. His heroic efforts saved the lives of nearly 30,000 refugees including 10,000 Jews who were fleeing Nazi tyranny. Although he was punished by the Salazar Regime of Portugal, for what he did, he is now recognized there and around the world as a hero and a "righteous man among the nations".

This event was co-sponsored by LusoCenter and BCC Holocaust Center.
