The European migration to Ecuador (1935-1955). The diplomatic vision of the arrival of problematic groups: the Jews

Abstract

The coming to power of the German National Socialist Party in 1933 will mean the beginning of persecutions of non-Aryan collectives and different political currents. The location of the German Jewish population occurs from 1935 with the collaboration of humanitarian agencies and associations. A solution will be sought in Latin America and Ecuador was one of the countries that will welcome European migrants. We try to describe in this investigation the migration policy of the different governments of Ecuador with respect to Jews through consular actions in Europe.
