The Double crossing the story of the St. Louis / produced by the Holocaust Memorial Foundation of Illinois and Loyola University of Chicago

The ship St. Louis left Nazi Germany on May 13, 1939, with over 900 Jewish refugees bound for Cuba. Cuba refused them entry, as did the United States. The ship returned to Europe where the refugees were accepted by Great Britain, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Archival footage, plus numerous interviews with survivors of the St. Louis voyage, document this experience of refugees.
