With the coming
of the Second World War...
:01:11
...many eyes in imprisoned Europe
turned hopefully or desperately...
:01:16
... toward the freedom of the Americas.
:01:18
Lisbon became
the great embarkation point.
:01:21
But not everybody could get
to Lisbon directly.
:01:25
And so a torturous, roundabout
refugee trail sprang up.
:01:29
Paris to Marseilles.
:01:37
Across the Mediterranean to Oran.
:01:46
Then by train or auto or foot
across the rim of Africa...
:01:51
... to Casablanca in French Morocco.
:01:53
Here, the fortunate ones,
through money or influence or luck...
:01:58
...might obtain exit visas
and scurry to Lisbon.
:02:01
And from Lisbon to the New World.
:02:04
But the others wait in Casablanca.
:02:08
And wait...
:02:09
...and wait...
:02:11
...and wait.
:02:22
"To all officers:
:02:24
Two German couriers carrying official
documents murdered on train from Oran.
:02:29
Murderer and possible accomplices
headed for Casablanca.
:02:32
Round up all suspicious characters
and search them for stolen document.
:02:36
Important. "
