Jewish opponents of and fugitives from Nazism arrested in Spain (1942-1943): three famous names Authors Martine Berthelot Universitat de Perpinyà Keywords: Second World War, Franco regime, France-Spain border, illegal crossing, prison, Rothschild, Citroën, Freud, police, civil governor, consulates Abstract This previously unpublished article describes the vicissitudes of three Jewish fugitives with very familiar names, each of whom illegally crossed into Spain from France during the Second World War and was apprehended by the Civil Guard in either Camprodon or Besalú. It was thus that Baron Philippe de Rothschild (a member of the famous banking dynasty), Maxime Citroën (the automobile manufacturer’s son) and Olivier Freud (Sigmund Freud’s son) had to endure prison and, between their respective consulates, the Spanish police and the province of Girona’s civil government, many bureaucratic procedures before being allowed to leave Spain for America or North Africa. The primary sources (the civil government of Girona’s border records) on which this study is based contain valuable unpublished documents that, following processing, we wish to make available to historians and biographers.Keywords: Second World War, Franco regime, France-Spain border, illegal crossing, prison, Rothschild, Citroën, Freud, police, civil governor, consulates Downloads Download data is not yet available.
