Miami Herald newspaper coverage of the ocean liner St. Louis and its passengers, refugees from Nazi Germany. The refugees were not allowed to disembark in Havana, Cuba and the ship was ordered to leave the territorial waters of Cuba. The United States did not provide refuge for the passengers and the ship did not land in Miami. Although some passengers did get off in Cuba most returned with the ship to Europe, docking at Antwerp, Belgium. Hundreds of St. Louis passengers probably died in the Holocaust.
