...seven years, nine months, two weeks and a few odd days, the cellar has been home to Brothers Juan Carlos Cardoso, 46, and Luis Amadeo Cardoso, 41, making them easily the current champions in that treasured Latin American institution known as political asylum. Only Peru's Victor Raul Haya de la Torre, who fled to the Colombian embassy in Lima in 1949 - holed up for five years, three months, four days - ever approached their record...
Drawing heavily upon Raul Hilberg's The Destruction of the European Jews for her information, Arendt tries to make the case that Jews were saved in those countries where the citizenry was gallant enough to object.

The size of the concerted shipments indicate that they were in the works before the visit to Moscow last month by Fidel's 31-year-old brother Raul, though perhaps he was able to ask for a few more items and the Russians were in a position to extract a few more pledges...
