Altho the Hamburg-America Line vessel the MS St Louis did not sink at sea like the Titanic or the Andrea Doria, its fate was nearly as tragic. Setting sail in 1939 from Hitler's Germany with 937 Jews on board, the ship, bound for Havana, fell victim to Nazi propaganda & a cruel shift in political power in Cuba. Denied permission to dock, the St Louis returned to Europe, dispersing its passengers into France, Belgium, Holland & Great Britain, where many of them perished at the hands of the Nazis. Compiled with the help of survivors, this book is an important addition to the library of WWII literature.
