Abstract
In late June 1941 the Serpa Pinto, a battered vessel of Por tuguese registration, sailed into
New York harbor and docked at a Manhattan pier. Among its passengers, who came from
the four corners of the earth, were 111 European Jewish refugee children. Most of the
children were Germans and had been chosen from children's homes and alien detention
camps in unoccupied France to enter the US as immigrants on the German quota. One of
these was Helga R., a 13-year-old girl from Berlin.
