Sumario:In order to analyze the escape route through the Far East that took place between mid-1940 and mid-1941, this study examines the flight of Polish Jews and researches the emotions and solidarity connected with these journeys. 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.
