German Jews in Mexico, who have not obtained Mexican citizenship – and most of the refugees fall into this category – are being evacuated from coastal areas along the Atlantic and Pacific shores, under a decree issued by the Ministry of the Interior ordering the removal of all Axis nationals from strategic points on the coast, the Mexican press reports today.
The Mexican Government is not differentiating between nationals of Germany who are in the country for commercial reasons and those who have fled from Germany since the rise of Hitler. The refugees have been instructed to report here to receive instructions from the Mexican authorities.
Already many German residents of the Pacific port of Acapulco – including many Jews – have been brought here by representatives of the Ministry of the Interior.
