The connection between Isabel and Josef's story is that Lito was the police officer who jumped off of the U.S St. Louis to save Josef's father when he tried to commit suicide. Which is why, years later when he was now the refugee he remembered the time when his country denied the Jews entrance into their country, just like the U.S was trying to prevent his family's entrance.
