Publisher's Summary

This book is a meticulous reconstruction of a tragic episode in the history of the Nazi persecution of the Jews. The SS. St. Louis left Hamburg in May of 1939 with 937 Jewish refugees on board who thought they had bought visas to enter Cuba. Refused entry in Cuba and the United States the ship eventually had to turn around and return to Europe. The voyage to freedom was in the end nothing more than a roundabout journey to the concentration camps.

What a fiasco

So grim to listen to, knowing that they were denied disembarkation in Cuba. Well told as a result of memories and personal diaries. There were a few light moments, such as the escapades of the children at sea, An important WWII story we should all be aware of. Refugees deserve refuge and kindness.
