This article aims to retrace the governmental policies towards Jewish refugees in Ecuador and Colombia in the period between 1933, the year in which Hitler took over power in Germany, and the resulting emigration of the Jewish people from Germany; and 1945 when the Second World War in Europe finally ended. To do so, the article is presented into two main section. The first will analyzes the topic under the point of view of the political debate and the legislative measures towards migration, while the second investigates the work of the diplomatic missions in Europe. To include first-hand experiences in the exploration of the two sections of this work, I use testimonies from those who experienced life in Ecuador and Colombia between 1933 and 1945. For this purpose, I will use the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive (VHA).
