She was called "The Angel of Hamburg", having saved the lives of numerous Jews: Aracy Moebius de Carvalho.
She is little known in Europe, but a heroine in Brazil, known as "The Angel of Hamburg" and honored "Righteous Among the Nations" at Yad Vashem. As a young Brazilian working in the Brazilian consulate in Hamburg, Aracy issued false visas to those seeking help, showing that one person can change the destiny of many people with a simple act. By doing so, she risked her freedom, violating both the inhumane policies of her host country and those of her homeland. With emotional re-enactments, film and photo recordings, historical documents and interviews with experts, and with the help of Aracy's relatives and descendants of the rescued Jews, we retell the story of this courageous young woman.
