The depressing tale of the st. louis is a case in point. sixty
years ago, its human cargo - nearly 1,000 jews – was
turned back to nazi germany. and that happened after the
kristallnacht, after the first state sponsored pogrom, with
hundreds of jewish shops destroyed, synagogues burned,
thousands of people put in concentration camps. and that
ship, which was already in the shores of the united states,
was sent back.
