Casablanca Intro
Narrator: "With the coming of the second world war many eyes of imprisoned Europe turned hopefully or desperately towards the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. not everybody could get to Lisbon directly and so a torturous round-about refugee trail sprang up. Paris to Marseilles, across the Mediterranean to Oran, then by train or auto or foot across the rim of Africa to Casablanca in French Marocco here the fortunate ones through money or influence or luck might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon and from Lisbon to the new world, but the others wait in Casablanca...and wait...and wait...and wait."
