Story's like the Frank's and another about a cruise liner filled with Jews that I believe got to our shores and was turned away show an interesting comparison with todays attitude.We wouldn't let people in the 1930's and 40's into the USA even to save their lives.Today we let people come in illegally for any reason good or bad,and don't even try to stop it !!!
That was the St. Louis. After the US turned the ship away, it cruised down the coast of the Americas looking for a safe port, and was turned away time and again. In the end, it sailed back to Europe and delivered its human cargo back into Hitler's hands.
