 Jews who were not allowed to enter Spain, however, were sent to the Miranda de Ebro concentration camp or deported to France.In January 1943, after the German embassy in Spain told the Spanish government that it had two months to remove its Jewish citizens from Western Europe, Spain severely limited visas, and only 800 Jews were allowed to enter the country.After the war, Franco exaggerated his contribution to helping to save Jews to end Spain's isolation and to improve Spain's image in the world.
