There is not any movie about him, just like about many other Spanish diplomats. However, just like many of his colleagues he did everything he could to save the lives of men, women and children that, just for the fact of being Jewish, were going to be sent to Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War. A few years ago he was recognised as Righteous Among the Nations.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It was April 1943. Sebasti\u00e1n de Romero Radigales had just arrived in Athens as consul general of Spain. From the first moment, he decided to make everything he could in order to liberate the Sephardic Jews, about 800 people distributed all over Athens and Salonica, from the Nazi, from torture and from death.<\/p>\n<p>Romero used all possible strategies. He organized the warehouse of these people\u2019s belongings in the Spanish Embassy, with the objective of avoiding them to fall in the Nazi\u2019s hands and to help them recovering them later. He made a decree public where he offered the Spanish nationality to all the Sephardic Jews without any specific requirement.<\/p>\n<p>His resistance set him against the German ambassador in Athens, G\u00fcnter Altenburg, who was forced to postpone the deportation of hundreds of Jewish people. In a document of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, dated on 30 April 1943, Altenburg regretted that persistent resistance of the Spanish diplomat and asked Berlin to put pressure on the Spanish authorities to \u201cteach\u201d Romero to stop his \u201cinterferences\u201d in the planned deportations.<\/p>\n<p>Between March and June 1943, 48,000 Jewish people from Salonica were deported to the extermination camps. Romero could only fight for the Sephardic Jews, because of his bonds with Spain, and he could evacuate 150 people in an Italian military train. He also fought until the last moment to avoid the deportation of another 367 Jewish people, causing the anger of the Hitlerian regime that got away with it at first. It was only in February 1944 when the German authorized the transfer of those people deported to Spain.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Sebasti\u00e1n de Romero, was recognized as Righteous among the Nations by the institution dedicated to the memory of the Holocaust, the Museum Yad Vashem. The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out in a statement that \u201cthis recognition means a gesture of great symbolic value for the memory and the family of Sebasti\u00e1n de Romero Radigales.<\/p>\n<p>After many years, the bravery and the dedication of the diplomat have been recognized\u201d and it highlights \u201cthe sense of justice and humanity that this Spanish civil servant inspired, as well as many others, during the Second World War\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Those others are <a title=\"\u00c1ngel Sanz-Briz\" href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%C3%81ngel_Sanz-Briz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00c1ngel Sanz-Briz<\/a>, <a title=\"Eduardo Propper de Callej\u00f3n\" href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eduardo_Propper_de_Callej%C3%B3n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eduardo Propper de Callej\u00f3n<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"Bernardo Rolland de Miota\" href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bernardo_Rolland_de_Miota\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bernardo Rolland de Miota<\/a>, <a title=\"Jos\u00e9 Rojas Moreno\" href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jos%C3%A9_Rojas_Moreno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jos\u00e9 Rojas Moreno<\/a>, <a title=\"Miguel \u00c1ngel de Muguiro\" href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Miguel_%C3%81ngel_de_Muguiro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miguel \u00c1ngel de Muguiro<\/a>, <a title=\"Julio Palencia Tubau\" href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Julio_Palencia_Tubau\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Julio Palencia Tubau<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"Juan Schwartz D\u00edaz-Flores\" href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Juan_Schwartz_D%C3%ADaz-Flores\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juan Schwartz D\u00edaz-Flores<\/a> or <a title=\"Jos\u00e9 Ruiz Santaella\" href=\"http:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jos%C3%A9_Ruiz_Santaella\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jos\u00e9 Ruiz Santaella<\/a>.
