Robert Kim Bingham, Sr.
Quote: “He was stationed in Marseilles, in Southern France and this was right at the time when Hitler was marching across Europe and had taken over Europe, […] he decided to help many people who were fleeing from Hitler coming into southern France. Many refugees who had been refused visas in other consulates realized they should come and see Harry Bingham in Marseilles for one last chance to live.”
