Scope & content
I page, single-sided. Folded 3 times horizontally and once vertically. Document is a receipt from the Lisbon Customs Office for boarded luggage. It lists 8 pieces of luggage (in Portuguese) which were loaded onto the Serpa Pinto under the name Baron. Document is dated March 22, 1944 and stamped Mar 23, 1944. Price of $50 printed at top right corner. Narrative: Jakob (Jacob) Baron, born 1902 in Wieruszów, Poland, was the father of the donor. The family fled Nancy to Toulouse in 1940, where they were assigned forced residence status on February 2, 1941. The Vichy Statute of October 4, 1940 stated that foreign Jews could at any time be assigned a forced residence by the prefect of the department in which they resided. This forced residence was in Bagnères-de-Luchon, on the Spanish border. On December 17, 1942 the Barons left Bagnères-de-Luchon, crossed the Pyrenees on foot, entered Spain and lived in Barcelona for one year. The Barons obtained visas to enter Canada via Portugal and travelled to Philadelphia via the Serpa Pinto, which left Lisbon on March 23, 1944 and docked in Philadelphia on April 6, 1944. They arrived in Montreal by train on April 8, 1944. The Serpa Pinto was a Portuguese transport ship, which sailed under the command of Captain Americo Dos Santos. With a capacity of 600 people, the ship made regular trips from Lisbon, Portugal to Rio de Janeiro, New York City, Philadelphia and Baltimore. It has been said that the ship transported about 7800 refugees during the Second World War, among them hundreds of Jews.
