Halifax: Exhibition: St. Louis: Ship of Fate
About the St. Louis fateful voyage: On May 13, 1939, over 900 German Jews fled the rising violence of Nazi Germany aboard St. Louis ship. Bound for Havana, they had Cuban tourism visas, but just as the liner left, Cuban officials changed the rules. The plight of the St. Louis passengers made headlines around the world. After the United States and Canada refused entry to the ship carrying the Jewish passengers, it was forced to return to Europe. Shortly afterwards the Nazis began their program of genocide, rounding up and murdering the Jews of Europe.
Schools can pre-book student visits to the exhibit from November 6 to 26. To pre-book, or for additional information, please contact: Edna LeVine, Director of Community Engagement, Atlantic Jewish Council, click here to email
