Dear Jeff,
How awesome and wonderful of you to continue to write this message. May I use it on my website? I have begun an organization since 2002 to support Israel and the Jewish people and actively uphold the message of Schindler's life. I hope we will talk soon. I am taking a tour to Prague, Israel and Poland Sept 23 to Oct 20. and have recently held a Judeo-Christian Zionist Congress, the 2nd annual, here in Burlingame.(San Francisco). Please send me an update on yourself. My number is 510 533 1277. For Zion's Sake, Rosemary Schindler.
I'm sending this article to the intercessors of St. Louis who need this for their prayer research. They are Regina Shank, USSPN=U.S.Strategic Prayer Network State Coordinator Missouri Prayer and James Nesbit, Regional Contact for Prepare the Way Ministries, St. Louis = nesb7@aol.com St. Louis is called gateway to the West and is shaped like an eye.
Jeff,
What a wonderful, but sad story. It is amazing how sorry and cruel the Godly and civilized can be, even in this present day and time.
Thank you,
Gordon

I know that God is in control and I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem and that all would be saved.
Thasnk you for posting your web site so that I might view the pictures and commentary below them. I, at age 3 1/2 also was on the SS St. Louis and lost my mother, grand mother during the holocaust; all as a result of the participation of the countries who might have been ablr to halt this massacre of massacres (the allies)
I was 14 months old on the SS St. Louis, and traveled with my parents Josef, and Irmgard Koppel and my grandfather, Jacob Koppel. As a result of this trip, we were arrested by the French police in southern France, and we were put into a camp there. My mother and father were deported to Auschwitz, and were never heard from again. My grandfather died shortly after that of a massive stroke. I am grateful to have been one of the passengers who was given the opportunity to forgive. for me, it was a healing experience and bonded with many beautiful people. I feel very much at peace with myself. Thank you.
May G-d bless all the survivors.
Having survived an ordeal like that, I would have sued the American and the Canadian governments for knowingly sending all those people to their deaths. Shame on them, they always make out they're so generous yet they do nothing at the 11th hour. They were the same during the six day war. Britain, a small country took a few hundred people in and saved their lives, why couldn't North America? A big continent like that? Disgusting.
Unfortunately, this will not be in American history textbooks. The American attitude in this country is to print only the good that this country has done. Far to often the worse has not been printed and so is lost to history. This is a life story that should teach us a great deal. History that is forgotten is history that will repeated, over and over again for eternity.
My students are reading a book titled Survivors in 8th grade Literacy and we are trying to find guest speakers to present information about the holocaust. Thank you for any information you can provide.

I am 13 yrs. old and I live in S. Florida. I am beginning my research for my documentary for National History Day. I am telling the story of the SS St Louis. I will be focusing on the US Gov't's indifference towards the Jews. I thought this article was very emotional (my mom cried!) and helpful. If anyone has any comments or information to help me with my project, I would really appreciate it.
Last year, my documentary won for the state of Florida. I went to Washington to compete nationally last June. It was an incredible experience. I hope to do as well (or better) this year.
Thank you,
Spencer Hennings
PS I celebrated my Bar Mitzvah last month!
