The people on the St Louis tried to buy illicit Cuban visas in Holland, I believe it was, and ended up getting cheated in the process. When they arrived in Cuba, they were denied entry. They looked for alternatives and no country would admit them with nothing but phony Cuban visas. The US, which had a strict non-interventionist policy in place at the time, followed the law and refused entry like every other country. They were forced to return to Holland.Roosevelt’s embedded anti-Semitism was not confined to jokes. It was displayed in the refusal of the American government in 1939 to admit the desperate refugees on board the S.S. St. Louis,who were returned to Germany [to their deaths] – or to even fill the quotas that authorized the limited admission of Germans.
And we Americans, who actually fought the Nazis, who opened their borders to Jews, where Jews have prospered like nowhere else, we hear what? Nothing but shit about our evil Nazi past because of the fucking St Louis. Fuck you.
