Historia biográfica
Jacqueline Guldris, a native Miamian, was hired from February to November, 1995 by the Department of State through the Community Relations Services Department to work with Cuban refugees at the camps in Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base. She taught refugee children at the Fort Knox School in Campo Bravo, and later conducted pre-immigration interviews. Ms. Guldris lived as a civilian and worked closely with the balseros (refugees) and military personnel to document their activities regarding their lives in the camps.
