After the Nazi invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939 Sousa Mendes found himself continu ally more restricted by the fascist policies of Portugal's prime minister. Dr. A ntonio Oliviera de Salazar, who, like Franco in Spain, assumed a position of neu trality but did not wish to offend Hitler. It was Salazar's Circular 14 - denyin g, on the basis of race and religion, visas to the swelling number of refugees t o Portugal - that prompted Sousa Mendes's first acts of disobedience in his offi ce at the consulate. Over a period of six months in 1940, in accordance with his own conscience rather than Salazar's dictates, Sousa Mendes signed many thousan ds of visas that spared their recipients, ten thousand of them Jews, a terrible fate in the Nazi death camps.
