World War II was a time of open doors for Spain. Due to the religious persecution of many Jewish populations, Spain opened the borders to allow those fleeing to pass through as long as no evidence of the passing was left behind. In all more than 25,000 Jewish people passed through the country. In addition to those passing through, nearly 7,000 Jewish people were kept in secret by Spanish diplomats to escape Nazi forces. Today there are about 67,000 people in the Jewish community.
