Synopsis

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
