They were actors who were actual refugees!! Hollywood was *full* of refugees at the time, including some of the cinematographers and directors.

Right but it sounds like you're saying they were intentionally hired for this because of their refugee status, and I didn't know that!

Ah, I don't know if it worked quite like that. It was more that the refugee community was already hanging out?

A recent documentary film on Carl Laemmle has an interesting section talking about his role in helping large numbers of refugees escape Europe and make it to Hollywood:
