MS St. Louis ocean liner... Jewish refugees...

Item # 710753 ·
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, June 6, 1939..

* German Ocean Liner MS St. Louis
* Jewish refugees are refused in Cuba
* "Voyage of the Damned" - Jews


The top of the front page has a two column headline: "LINER GOING BACK TO GERMANY WITH 900 REFUGEE JEWS" with subheads. (see images)
Complete with 20+ pages, a printing flaw (light brown stain) slightly affects the headings (see image), some small binding holes along the spine, nice condition.

wikipedia notes: The MS St. Louis was a German ocean liner most notable for a single voyage in 1939, in which its captain, Gustav Schröder, tried to find homes for 908 Jewish refugees from Germany. After they were denied entry to Cuba, Canada, and the United States, the refugees were finally accepted in various European countries, and historians have estimated that approximately a quarter of them died in death camps during World War II.
