Abstract

During the Second World War, the Legation of the Republic of Poland in Bern made strenuous efforts to save thousands of Jews by issuing them with falsified passports or certificates of citizenship of certain Latin American countries – primarily Paraguay, Honduras, Haiti and Peru.
The article presents the most important archival resources in which the Pilecki Institute, acting in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Bern, is currently conducting research with the objective of determining the actual number of persons saved and elaborating a list of the rescued.
