The Simon Wiesenthal Center/Museum of Tolerance is preparing an exhibit to honor Gilberto Bosques (pictured), the Mexican Consul in Southern France during World War II, who is responsible for saving 40,000 people from certain death at the hands of the Nazis.

We are asking that people who were saved by the "Mexican Consul" (as he was often known because he sometimes did his work anonymously) to please contact the Public Relations Department of the Wiesenthal Center at 310-772-2458, or by email at: publicrelations@wiesenthal.com.
