Name:	Refuge Denied: The St. Louis Passengers and the Holocaust
Product Code:	9780299219840
Description:	By Sarah A. Ogilvie and Scott Miller
Product Detail:	A publication of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum In 1939 the Cuban government turned away the ship St. Louis, which carried more than 900 Jewish refugees escaping Nazi Germany. Refused another safe haven in the United States, the St. Louis returned to Europe. Over the years the fateful voyage of the St. Louis has come to symbolize U.S. indifference to the plight of European Jewry on the eve of World War II. Although the episode of the St. Louis is well known, the actual fate of the 937 passengers is not. Prompted by a former passenger’s curiosity, a ten year inquiry began that spanned half the globe and produced surprising results. Refuge Denied chronicles the unraveling of the mystery, from Los Angeles to Havana and from New York to Jerusalem. Unfolding like a compelling detective thriller, Refuge Denied is a must-read for anyone interested in the Holocaust and its impact on the lives of ordinary people.
