Exhibition Opening - St. Louis: Ship of Fate

This exhibit was developed as a partnership project of the Atlantic Jewish Council and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and will be on view at the Chase Gallery from November 5 – 26, during gallery hours. 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. 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.
