Passenger Ship List: RMS Asturias

Sailed March 7, 1939 Europe to Buenos Aires, Argentina

Paul S. Valasek Hallersarmy@aol.com

Here is a partial list of passengers embarking at ports of Southampton, Vigo, Lisbon and Montevideo heading towards Buenos Aires. Most passengers who are listed as Poles are most likely Polish Jews, but again, by definition of Nationality in the Immigrant world, they are listed as being Polish rather than Jewish. The names of the Italians are interesting as they are all listed as “artists.” Makes me wonder what type of art they were creating. I have included them here for just that reason.

As the sailing date is just short of 6 months from the start of World War II, we can only surmise they knew what was coming and left Europe while they could.

Please check out my prior article about the ship at www.polishroots.org/gendobry/PDF/GenDobry_IX_3.pdf
