description The purpose of this article is to analyse the migratory movement of Jewish refugees caused by the Second World War and Nazi violence. For this, the present work reconstructs and examines the journey of a Jewish woman who escaped from Poland and who sought refuge in Argentina, around the year 1941. From the perspective of social history and with a qualitative methodology, the work explores, though her travel log, her feelings and reflections regarding the relatives who had remained in Europe, the dramatic consequences of the war and the forced migrations. Her expressions of gratitude for the help she received during her migratory journey, as well as, in contrast, her negative opinions about certain attitudes and policies (for example those of the Soviet Union) draw upon her migration experiences, set in a key phase of the advancement of the Nazi terror, before the establishment of the so called «Final solution». Another situation that underlies this work revolves around the feeling of sorrow and the weight that came from her being the only member of her family that was saved, a   concern common to other refugees and Jewish survivors of the Shoá.

El propósito de este artículo es analizar el movimiento migratorio de refugiados judíos derivado de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y de la violencia nazi. Para ello, el trabajo reconstruye y examina la travesía migratoria de una mujer judía que escapó de Polonia y se refugió en Argentina, al promediar el año 1941. Desde una perspectiva de historia social y con una metodología cualitativa, el trabajo explora, a través de su diario de viaje, sus sentimientos y reflexiones en torno a los familiares que permanecieron en Europa, las dramáticas consecuencias de la guerra y las migraciones forzosas. Argumento que, tanto sus expresiones de agradecimiento por las ayudas recibidas en su trayectoria migratoria como, en contraste, sus opiniones negativas frente a determinadas actitudes y políticas (por ejemplo las de la Unión Soviética) recorrieron sus experiencias de migración, situadas, además, en una etapa clave del avance del terror nazi, antes del establecimiento de la denominada «Solución Final». Otro de los supuestos que subyace en este trabajo gira en torno a los sentimientos de dolor y el peso que significaron para ella haber sido la única de su familia que se salvó, preocupación común a otros refugiados y sobrevivientes judíos de la Shoá. Cet article se propose d’analyser le mouvement migratoire de réfugiés juifs dérivé de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et de la violence nazi. Pour ce faire, ce texte reconstitue et examine la traversée migratoire d’une femme juive qui avait échappé de Pologne pour se réfugier en Argentine en 1941. Dans une perspective d’histoire sociale et avec une méthodologie qualitative, cet article explore, à partir du journal intime de la femme en question, les sentiments et les réflexions autour des gens de sa famille ayant resté en Europe, les conséquences dramatiques de la guerre et les migrations forcées. Les expressions de reconnaissance pour l’aide qu’elle a reçu pendant sa migration, ainsi que les opinions défavorables qu’elle portait sur quelques décisions politiques (par exemple, celles de l’Union Soviétique) traversent ses expériences de migration, situées dans un moment clé de l’avance de l’horreur nazi, peu avant la «la solution finale». Par ailleurs, ce texte revient sur les sentiments de douleur concernant le fait qu’elle a été la seule de sa famille à être sauvée, une préoccupation commune à d’autres réfugiés et survivants juifs de la Shoa.
