Check out this interesting and timely seminar on Sunday. A rare opportunity to hear from passengers who were on the St. Louis in 1939, a ship of Jewish refugees turned away from the United States. http://bit.ly/2jrj78S
In 1939, the S.S. St. Louis was bound for Cuba with hundreds of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany on board. The passengers were turned away first from Havana, then from the United States, and subsequently forced to return to Europe during Hitler’s reign.
In response to current events, the Museum invites you to attend our free seminar “The Voyage of the St. Louis,” this Sunday, February 5, from 12:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Two former passengers of the St. Louis will join Scott Miller, Cultural Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, for a discussion that includes the painstaking research into discovering the fate of all the passengers on this notorious voyage.
Space is limited and advance registration is required.
