Portugal-Europe's Crossroads

Large crowd of people wave to those aboard "Serpa Pinto." Ship waits for 1500 children from France. At last minute, Germans do not let children leave France. Most are Jews and were assisted by American charitable organizations. Only 40 of these children get to Portugal. Men at table check passenger documents prior to boarding. Children are assisted up gangway; boy and girl at document table. More people, including more children, board ship, go up gangway toward camera. Good shots of children.
