Voyage of the Damned September 5, 2015 1:06 pm ER

The evolving horror of thousands of Syrian, Iraqi and Libyan refugees desperately looking for refuge from the holocaust in their countries is reminiscent of the voyage of the MS St. Louis.

The MS St. Louis was a German ocean liner most notable for a single voyage in 1939, in which her captain, Gustav Schröder, tried to find homes for 908 Jewish refugees from Germany, after they were denied entry to Cuba, the United States and Canada, until finally accepted in various European countries, which were later engulfed in World War II. Historians have estimated that, after their return to Europe, approximately a quarter of the ship’s passengers died in concentration camps.
