Book Reviews of Voyage of the Damned
Book Review: Rufugees seek a home in Cuba.
Summary: 4 Stars
German Jews flee Nazi Germany in May 1939 seek a home anywhere they can live. Corrupt Cuban immigration officials sell a boarding card to these refugees only to find the Cuban President has barred their way into the country. These Jewish refugees are stuck in Harvana harbor on the German passenger steamer SS St. Louis. Three people try to or commit suicide on the St. Louis. Eventually the shipped is forced to leave Cuban waters. Even President Roosevelt turns a blind eye and refuses to let these refugees land in American. Nazi propaganda has a field day as the Germans lambast those who criticize their policies but at the same time don't try to help. The authors do a great job of showing what happened. The German captain and most of the German crew do what they can to make the refugees comfortable. After the war, the captain is recognized for what he did for his passengers. He was certainly a kind hearted person.
This is a great book to read about the Holocaust. I learned a little known chapter in this and WWII. Both Nazi Germany, Cuba, and the United States turned their backs on the fate of over 900 people. A good read.
