It was defeated in the subcommittee. Some time later. the ship the St. Louis with almost 1.000 German Jews sailed into Miami harbor. Those Jews were seeking refuge from Nazi Germany. The war had begun. Hitler. had been in control of Germany for some years. and the U.S. Immigration Service turned the ship back. The ship returned to Europe. One of the things I hope that this museum will do is to let all Americans know of our own complicity. let all American gentiles know of our own guilt. of the role we played and of our silence during the Holocaust.
