St. Louis Incident: Jews Seeking Refuge from the Nazis

On May 13, 1939, St. Louis carried 937 passengers trying to escape the influence of the Holocaust, and these effects began to spread throughout Germany. Almost all of these passengers were Jews who escaped the Third Reich. The German trans Atlantic transit ship program departs from Hamburg, Germany, to Havana in Cuba (2). Their trip lasts about two weeks, then they will get rid of all the Nazi and German wars. They will stay in Cuba until they meet the quota requirements to enter the United States.

On May 13, 1939, Saint Louis navigated from Hamburg to Cuba. The ship commanded by Master Gustav Schroeder carries 937 passengers, most of them Jewish refugees who wish to exile the abusing Jews in Germany (→ Ethnic policies of Kristallnacht, Nazi Germany). Captain Schroeder is a German who is not a Jew, he is trying his best to be treated with dignity. Passengers in St. Louis received abuse in Germany, but on board the ship was treated by Captain Schroeder and carefully. Foods offered contain items prescribed in Germany, so that children can enjoy child rearing when they eat. On Friday evening, dance and concerts were held and religious ceremonies were held at the restaurant. Hitler's bust was covered with a tablecloth. Swimming lessons will be held at the deck of the swimming pool. Boy Losamalton traveling with his parents said passengers thought it was "a free holiday cruise"

This weekend, American Jews and our Muslim friends know more clearly that we are all on the same ship. The ship is a ship carrying about 1000 Jews who fled from St. Louis, Nazi · Germany, and the US closed it in 1939. One third of the people on the ship died in the Holocaust. But, truly, everyone. All these stories began like this, such as demonic minority religion, handling as a criminal or enemy, threat to national security. Make them inhuman to start turning blind eyes to the children's pain. The shocking thing is that people can forget how to treat outsiders as people.
