    Abstract: Between 1930-45 (under the regime of Getulio Vargas) hundreds of European Jews who immigrated to Brazil were tried under the suspicion of being communists and revolutionaries. Many of them were expelled from Brazil. The activities of the Jewish communities were monitored by the state security apparatus, and the Jews' mail was censored. Jewish immigration was restricted, as many of the immigration officials were antisemites. The stereotype of the Jew as an agent of the Bolshevik revolution (and therefore a threat to Brazil) was spread by the extreme right in its publications and by state organs, especially the police. Concludes that Jewish communal life was affected, in particular, in its capacity for growth because of the immigration restrictions.

    Abstract: Most of the article deals, in fact, with the Brazilian government's discriminatory immigration policy toward Jewish refugees. Jews were characterized as "undesirable". Despite harsh administrative measures, Jews managed to overcome the impediments and settled in the country. However, they were then victimized y the police; they were considered "a danger to national security." Some Jews were jailed or their property was confiscated. Towards the end of the war, the Brazilian government gave Nazi Germans of Brazilian origin permission to settle in the country. However, after the war, international pressure obliged Brazil to adopt a more open immigration policy for Jews.
