THE DOUBLE CROSSING
The Voyage of the St. Louis
DVD
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Many Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany found, like the 907 passengers on the cruise ship St. Louis, that "a passport stamped 'J' was a passport to nowhere."
Cuban officials nullified their entry permits and the U.S. government denied them admission. In present-day interviews plus archival footage and photographs, passengers relive the cruise that became a voyage into limbo. The program’s almost understated tone contrasts with the urgency of the issues it raises: anti-Semitism, quota systems for refugees, and worldwide immigration policies today.
Quantities are limited.
