Scott Miller talked about his book, Refuge Denied: The St. Louis Passengers and the Holocaust, in which he details the fate of the passengers of the transatlantic ocean liner St. Louis after they returned to Europe. He was joined by scholars and a survivor of the Holocaust, who was a passenger on the trip, in a discussion about the refugees and the policies of the countries involved.

On May 13, 1939, the St. Louis departed Hamburg, Germany, bound for Havana, Cuba, with 938 passengers, almost all were Jews fleeing the Third Reich. The refugees were refused entry into Cuba, then later refused entry into the United States.

The Jewish Museum of Florida at Florida International University hosted this event along with the Latin American Jewry Initiative, the Cuban Research Institute, the Latin American and Caribbean Center, and the Jewish Studies Initiative. close
