Despite Mexico’s highly restrictive policy toward Jewish refugees during the 1930s and the Second World War, nearly two thousand Jewish refugees fleeing from Nazism managed to enter the country. While previous historiography has primarily focused on government policies toward Jewish refugees, it has paid little attention to the experiences of those who actually arrived in Mexico. This article fills this gap by analyzing the forced migration and transit process of thirty Jewish refugee families who arrived in Mexico between 1937 and 1949. Mexico emerged as a crucial option for refugees throughout their flight when they utilized and established transnational links that would ultimately lay the groundwork for their rescue. By expanding the field of Holocaust studies to encompass the experiences of refugees in Latin America, this study provides important insights into the global dynamics of the Holocaust.

从欧洲到墨西哥：三十个犹太家庭逃离纳粹主义的意外旅程

尽管墨西哥在 20 世纪 30 年代和第二次世界大战期间对犹太难民采取了高度限制性的政策，但仍有近两千名逃离纳粹主义的犹太难民设法进入该国。虽然以前的史学主要关注政府对犹太难民的政策，但很少关注那些真正抵达墨西哥的人的经历。本文通过分析 1937 年至 1949 年间抵达墨西哥的 30 个犹太难民家庭的被迫移民和过境过程，填补了这一空白。墨西哥成为难民在整个逃亡过程中的一个重要选择，因为他们利用并建立了跨国联系，最终奠定了他们在墨西哥的地位。为他们的营救奠定了基础。通过扩大大屠杀研究领域以涵盖拉丁美洲难民的经历，这项研究为大屠杀的全球动态提供了重要的见解。
