In May 1939, the SS St. Louis set sail from Hamburg carrying 937 German Jews seeking asylum from Nazi persecution. But all was not what it seemed. Unbeknownst to the captain, the ship was merely a pawn of Nazi propaganda. Amongst the crew were members of the dreaded Gestapo, and the steward himself was on a mission for the SS. This is the gripping, day-by-day account of how those refugees on board the liner struggled to survive. Description text copyright 2017 BooksForComfort. Item ID 31933
