Description: A tragic, horrifying, intense drama based on real life
events, about 937 German Jewish refugees who left Nazi occupied Germany, to
learn that nobody wanted them. This powerful film etches in rich detail, the
story of the desperate lives of 937 Jewish Germans, offered a safe haven in
Havana, Cuba. They depart Hamburg in high spirits looking forward to their new
life. Some were concentration camp victims, some survives of 'the night of
shattered crystal', others just wanted to join relatives in Cuba. Some were
wealthy enough to afford their voyage, but most left everything behind in the
hope they could escape the Nazi terror. The passengers are unaware that the
voyage is a sham, simply one of Josef Goebbels' propaganda exercises. The 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. On June 1, 1939, just as hope had
all but vanished, the passengers receive word that Belgium, Holland, France and
Britain agree to accept the passengers.
