The passengers subsequently sought safe haven in the United States, but were rejected once again, and the St. Louis had to embark on an uncertain return voyage to Europe. Finally, the St. Louis passengers found refuge in four western European countries, but only the 288 passengers sent to England evaded the Nazi grip that closed upon continental Europe a year later. Over the years, the fateful voyage of the St. Louis has come to symbolize U.S. indifference to the plight of European Jewry on the eve of World War II.Although the episode of the St. Louis is well known, the actual fates of the passengers, once they disembarked, slipped into historical obscurity. Prompted by a former passenger's curiosity, Sarah Ogilvie and Scott Miller of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum set out in 1996 to discover what happened to each of the 937 passengers. Their investigation, spanning nine years and half the globe, took them to unexpected places and produced surprising results. Refuge Denied chronicles the unraveling of the mystery, from Los Angeles to Havana and from New York to Jerusalem.Some of the most memorable stories include the fate of a young toolmaker who survived initial selection at Auschwitz because his glasses had gone flying moments before and a Jewish child whose apprenticeship with a baker in wartime France later translated into the establishment of a successful business in the United States. Unfolding like a compelling detective thriller, Refuge Denied is a must-read for anyone interested in the Holocaust and its impact on the lives of ordinary people. 606 $aJews$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$vBiography 606 $aJews, German$vBiography 606 $aJewish refugees$vBiography 606 $aHolocaust survivors$vBiography 606 $aJews$zGermany$xHistory$y1933-1945 615 0$aJews 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 0$aJews, German 615 0$aJewish refugees 615 0$aHolocaust survivors 615 0$aJews$xHistory 676 $a940.53/180922 700 $aOgilvie$b Sarah A$01807440 701 $aMiller$b Scott$f1958-$01807441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969931503321 996 $aRefuge denied$94357144 997 $aUNINA
