Echoes of Antisemitism in Colombia (1939-1948)
With Adolf Hitler promotion and the National Socialism under the German power in 1933 -and until 1945 -, European Jews went through a process of exclusion, rejection, expulsion and destruction into the German society.Colombia, on this hand, received only about 6,000 Jewish travelers , which constituted the largest wave of immigrants of Jewish origin in the country, given that it has not been -since its formation -a state of immigrants.This article serves as purpose to show evidence of some actions developed in Colombia, during the period from 1939 to 1948, against the Jewish communities that were settled in the country, and were victims of the emergence of an anti-Semitism local.The exaltation of their voices is a constant purpose, as a way of "doing justice" to these victims of the Shoah, in which Colombia made a small, but still significant, contribution.
