Book Description
Traces the evolution of Franco's Spain from attraction to Nazi Germany to "benevolence" towards the USA. Pp. 576-595, "España y el Holocausto judío", describe Spanish policy towards the Jews. States that although sectors of the extreme-right were antisemitic, and in 1939 most Jews were pressured to convert or leave and Judaism was prohibited as a cult, there were no official antisemitic regulations. Discusses the issue of protection of Sephardic Jews with Spanish citizenship in France and other countries. The Foreign Office recommended passivity and acceptance of German legislation while showing an interest in the properties of these Jews (e.g. by the ambassador in Paris, José Félix Lequerica). By the end of 1942, when the extermination of the Jews became known, José María Doussinague of the Foreign Office considered allowing transit permits to Sephardic Jews. He was concerned that Spain should not be perceived by the Allies as an accomplice to the Nazi murders. This tendency prevailed to the end of 1943 when, under Allied pressure, Foreign Minister Francisco Gómez Jordana stated that Spain would help Jews escape Nazi persecution. also discusses consul Ángel Sanz Briz's help to Hungarian Jews in Budapest in 1944. States that Spanish help to the Jews was "too little, too late", and that Franco was not personally involved in this issue.
