Sol Messinger on the ship St. Louis
Sol Messinger was a young boy, nearly seven, when he boarded the ship St. Louis with his family. He describes the voyage from Germany to Cuba. St. Louis was a German ship carrying Jewish refugees who were not permitted to disembark in Havana, Cuba, upon their arrival on May 27, 1939. Sol’s testimony is featured in the new IWitness activity, Voyage of the St. Louis: From Hope to Despair. Pictured: The ship St. Louis.

Didn’t they deserve to be honored, too?
