IN A VIDEO documentary, "An Open Door: Jewish Rescue in the Philippines," author Sharon Delmedo worked with award-winning filmmaker Noel M. Izon in producing the video that tells of how President Manuel L. Quezon rescued around 1,300 Jewish refugees running away from Nazi repression in Germany and Austria opened the door of the Philippines for their refuge. On 1938 December 5, President Quezon announced that opened the Philippines for the "entrance of such Jewish people as we could absorb and who would not be a burden."
