Description: In the near-dark of the customs shed, a heavy man in a dark hat and overcoat stands turned away beside his baggage: a tall case marked with chalk, trunks piled behind and papers pinned to a post at the right. Chalk marks on baggage were the sign that customs officers had passed it. By 1941 Lisbon was the last open port from which refugees from occupied Europe could sail for New York.
