SS Mouzinho (see Holocaust Children Studies)

Overview

The Mouzinho was built in Kiel, Germany in 1907 for the Hamburg America Line and was originally named the Guglielmo Pierce. She changed owners and names several times before being acquired by the Companhia Colonial de Navegacao of Portugal in 1930 and renamed the Mouzinho.

The Mouzinho made two round voyages between Lisbon and New York in June and in August, 1941. Many Jewish passengers arrived to Lisbon, Portugal on board of "sealed" train cars from Germany or France.

Included in the passengers on the June and August voyages were children sponsored by the OSE (Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants based in Paris) in conjunction with the US Committee for the Protection of European Children, Jewish Children's Aid and the American Friends Service Committee of Marseilles. These organizations arranged for close to 200 children to escape Europe to the United States on the two voyages of the Mouzinho and on a third voyage aboard the [[Serpa Pinto in September 1941. It appears that among these 200 children were thirty-five children who had been on the St. Louis and had been under the care of the OSE since the St. Louis returned to Europe in August 1939 after being denied entry elsewhere.

-The children left the Marseilles train station at the end of May 1941. They were accompanied by OSE workers Isaac and Masha Chomski, who coordinated the transport with the assistance of Morris Troper of the JDC as well as the American Friends Service Committee. The train stopped briefly at the Oloron train station, located outside the Gurs concentration camp, so that the children could say a final goodbye to their parents. The children had saved their morning food rations and presented them to their parents as a gift, to the amazement of all the adults present. The brief reunion was traumatic for both the children and the parents, and OSE decided to discontinue the practice on future convoys.
