The tragic true story of the ship St. Louis. It left Germany in May 1939 full of Jewish passengers seeking refuge in Cuba, but was denied port in Cuba, the US and Canada before returning to Europe. where many died in the Holocaust. Through the eyes of two children, Sol and Lisa, both of whom survived the war and shared their experiences, we see the journey begin with excitement and hope and end in frustration and fear. The children's chapters alternate with those of the captain, Schroeder, a German who was sympathetic to the Jews. Through his eyes we get the facts that are kept from the children.
