rico:history "United States Holocaust Memorial Museum"@en , "Hiram (Harry) Bingham IV (1903-1988), Vice Consul at the American Consulate in Marseilles from 1939 to 1941, worked with American rescue committees to help save Jews and political opponents of the Nazi regime caught in France. His wife, Rose, and children left France before the German invasion. Bingham developed contacts with members of the French resistance and assisted the rescue efforts of Varian Fry's Emergency Rescue Committee. Bingham issued hundreds of visas beyond State Department quotas, falsified others, provided papers to help refugees be released from French concentration camps, and issued affidavits in lieu of passports. In 1941 Bingham was reassigned to Lisbon and then transferred to Buenos Aires. He resigned from the Foreign Service after the war."@en ;
