This article focuses on the analysis of a set of memories of Jewish refugees in Portugal during World War II. The data were collected through in –depth interviews with some of the few of these refugees who remained, from the thousands that have passed here, in the middle of the sec. XX, in flight from the Holocaust and analyzed in the light of theoretical lenses of anthropology, by a qualitative methodology. The interpretative model followed, in addition to the necessary historical alignment, contemplates the perspectives in turn of the notion of memory, refugee and rites of passage, especially considering the moment of the arrival of the Jews in search of exile, in Portugal at that time.
