The shocking true story of the St Louis, a ship loaded with desperate passengers fleeing Nazism and nowhere to land, is told with all the tension and drama of a top class thriller . ( ) Excellent, well-written, sad, disturbing, thought-provoking. This is a book about the tragic journey of 937 Jews trying to escape Germany in 1939. The book is disturbing because I reflect on our country's refusal to act, and as I look about me, I see signs that such a terror as the Nazis posed is not restricted to Germany or to the 1930's and 40's. It is an expression of the darkness human nature is all too capable of - and the intolerance shown lately in this country toward anyone (commencement speakers, fast food restaurants and many others) who do not tow the Politically correct line makes me think such times are upon us again. The power exerted by these thought police is truly disturbing. Books like this remind us of history - if only we learn from it and do not allow the same mistakes to be made again. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In May 1939, the SS St. Louis set sail from Hamburg carrying 937 German Jews seeking asylum from Nazi persecution. Unknown to the captain, the ship was merely a pawn of Nazi propaganda. Among the crew were members of the dreaded Gestapo, and the steward himself was on a mission for the SS. Made into an Academy Award#150;winning film in 1976, Voyage of the Damned is the gripping, day-by-day account of how those refugees on board the liner struggled to survive.
