Secretary-General António Guterres heralded the opening of a new museum in central Portugal on Friday which honours the extraordinary life of a man who showed 'immense bravery' helping thousands of refugees escape the Nazi regime during World War Two.

'Aristides de Sousa Mendes was a beacon of courage, compassion, and conviction in a world of total moral collapse,' said Mr. Guterres in a video message to inaugurate the Aristides de Sousa Mendes Museum in the town of Carregal do Sal.
