Unsere Reise Nach Mauritius, Nach eigenen Tagebuchern verfasst von Ing. Emil Rainer [our journey to Mauritius, after diaries written by Ing. Emil Rainer]. [No indication of location or date; late 1940s?]. German.
Rich and detailed diary entries in seven chapters, based on diaries written by Eng. Emil Rainer, one of the refugees aboard the SS Atlantic, deported to Island of Mauritius. The diary entries describe all the stages of the journey - from sailing from Tulcea in Romania until the illegal immigrants arrived in Mauritius.
The ship Atlantic was part of the private illegal immigration enterprise of Berthold Storfer, an Austrian who endeavored to save Jews through cooperation with the Nazis. Atlantic sailed from the port of Tulcea in Romania at the end of September 1940, passed through Istanbul and stopped in Crete to acquire coal for the remainder of the trip. In Crete, the Greek crew refused to continue sailing and the immigrants occupied the ship. After many hardships, towing the ship to Cyprus and its arrival in Haifa, some of its illegal immigrants were transferred (together with immigrants of the ships Milos and Pacific) to the deportation ship Patria which, as is well known, was bombed and drowned by the Haganah. Survivors of Patria and the remaining immigrants from the Atlantic were deported to the Island of Mauritius on December 9, 1940, where they were detained for five years. In the book "The Mauritian Shekel, The Story of the Jewish Detainees in Mauritius, 1940-1945" by Geneviève Pitot (published by Editions Zivavi, Port Louis, Mauritius, ca. 1998), the name of Ing. Emil Rainer is mentioned several times, among others, as the author of an essay titled "Von Wien Nach Mauritius" (From Vienna to Mauritius).

A "letter of protection" [Védlevél], issued for the Jew Miklós Hreblay on behalf of the Spanish Embassy in Budapest on 1.11.1944. Hungarian.
A "protection letter" indicating that the bearer of the letter is under the protection of Spain. The letter is typewritten on official letterhead of the Spanish Embassy in Hungary, affixed with a photograph of the protection-holder and stamped with an ink stamp of the Spanish Embassy and an ink stamp of the ambassador Ángel Sanz Briz.
Ángel Sanz Briz (1910-1980), a Spanish diplomat, born in Saragosa. Between the years 1943-1944 he served as chargé d'affaires in the Spanish Embassy in Budapest, and during this short period he succeeded in issuing passports and letters of protection for thousands of Hungarian Jews, assisting them to escape to Spain. The original license that Briz got from the Hungarians allowed him to issue 200 passports only, but Briz changed the license from "individuals" to "families" (and sometimes he registered fifteen people on one passport). When an issue of a passport was not possible Briz issued letters of protection, the number of which was also restricted. To overcome this restriction Briz added letters to the serial numbers on the protection letters. By doing so he succeeded in issuing, eventually, an unlimited number of passes for those who applied.
For his endeavors to save Jews during the holocaust Ángel Sanz Briz was awarded the title Righteous among the Nations in 1965.
