To this end, it analyzes the case of two young people from Kobryn (formerly Poland, currently Belarus), who left Poland for Lithuania, then Russia, and, through Japan, finally managed to reach Argentina, the Latin American country that received the largest amount of Jewish refugees from Nazism. Furthermore, it explores the voices of those who constituted a key organization: the Committee for Assistance to Refugees, established in the Japanese port city of Kobe. Con el fin de analizar la ruta de escape a través del Lejano Oriente que tuvo lugar entre mediados de 1940 y mediados de 1941, el trabajo examina la huida de los judíos polacos e indaga las emociones y la solidaridad que acompañaron los trayectos. Para ello, toma el caso de dos jóvenes oriundos de Kobryn (antes Polonia y hoy Bielorrusia), quienes, tras salir de Polonia a Lituania luego pasar a Rusia y finalmente a Japón, lograron embarcarse rumbo a la Argentina, el país de América Latina que recibió más refugiados judíos del nazismo. Además, explora las voces de quienes constituyeron un organismo clave de ayuda: el Comité de Asistencia a los Refugiados, conformado en la ciudad portuaria japonesa de Kobe. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14061 10.34096/hyg.n5.14061 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14061/12440 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14061/12465 Derechos de autor 2024 Vanesa Teitelbaum Historia & Guerra; No. 5 (2024): January-June; 137-160 Historia & Guerra; Núm. 5 (2024): Enero-Junio; 137-160 2796-8650 Segunda Guerra Mundial Comité de Asistencia a los Refugiados Vilna Kobe Argentina Second World War Refugee Assistance Committee Vilna Kobe Argentina Polish Jewish Refugees: Flight and Rescue through Japan, 1940-1941 Refugiados judíos polacos: huida y rescate a través de Japón, 1940-1941 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Articles Artículos Artigos https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=histogue&d=14061_oai
