Nazi Germany: Canada

Canada: It was 1939 and 907 Jewish refugees aboard the German transatlantic liner St. Louis were seeking sanctuary from Nazi Germany. Canada refused to take them in and the ship sailed back to Europe, where 254 would later die in concentration camps, according to The Chronicle Herald. Although the story does not put Canada in a good light, its one that should be told, Debra McNabb, the museums director, said Thursday and They needed Canadas help and Canada said no. A display now on at the Museum of Industry in Stellarton tells the sad tale of the St. Louis and its ill-fated passengers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
