The Jewish population in Spain today is about 67,000. During World War II, Spain was neutral so Nazi soldiers did not impact the Jewish population directly, but Spain was willing to act as a through way for Jewish – people trying to escape from Nazi insurgence. About 26,000 immigrants passed through Spain leaving no trace. An addition 6,750 immigrants were sheltered by Spanish diplomats.
