There was an illustrious Mexican who was sent as consul to Free France, the same that was later occupied by Hitler's Nazi armies during World War II. This Mexican who saved thousands of lives of Spaniards who fled from a Civil War in Spain and took refuge in France, but also of Poles, Italians, Lebanese, Austrians and thousands of German Jews, regardless of nationality, ideology or religion. With this article we want to remember Don Gilberto Bosques Saldívar who saved the lives of more than forty thousand refugees.
