The incredible story of theiship that shamed theiworld
This was not your standard passenger list. Some were concentration camp victims. Others just wanted to join relatives in Cuba. Some were wealthy enough to afford the voyage. Most left everything behind in the hope they could escape German terror.
The passengers are unaware that the voyage is a sham, simply one of Goebbels' propaganda exercises. This ship will not be able to dock in Havana and, when the rest of the world turns the ship away, the Jews will have to return to Germany.
Just as hope has all but vanished, the passengers receive word that some European countries may take them in.
Come what may, the passengers resolve not to return to the camps. This tragic true-life epic also stars Lee Grant, Julie Harris, Ben Gazzara and Nehemiah Persoff.
