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.
