Nobody supposes this too little too late apology is a lame attempt at trying to shore up the Jewish vote do ya? This is so transparent the blind sheik could see through it. What's scary is some shmucks will fall for it.

It is amazing the ends to which these folks will go, trying to prove the Holocaust did, in fact, happen.

Are the scum going to apologize to Rabbi Kahane and his family as well??
If not for him, no one would remember the St. Louis at all. But he got murdered by US muslims, with a nod and a wink from the government.

St. FDR has a lot to answer for. He made some horrible decisions, yet God gave America the victory.

The Jews voted for Roosevelt by 90% in 1940, and 90% in 1944, they loved the guy.

OK. So how does this explain the U.S. State Department turning their backs on Jews and Israel NOW in 2012?

The Jews voted for Roosevelt by 90% in 1940, and 90% in 1944, they loved the guy.For a shocking look at FDR's disregard of Jews, I recommend THIS PROGRAM. I don't see how a Jew could ever vote 'rat after FDR didn't lift a finger to help them. FDR also opposed an anti-lynching law that had broad bipartisan support. Was he a snooty Hyde Park racist?

My husband’s grandfather returned to Germany to implore his family to come with him to the US. Only one came, a young doctor. She was almost picked up as the ship was stopped by a German sub and searched for escaping Jewish people. Subsequently during her life she was chief of staff of almost all the major hospitals in Memphis.

Congrats. You’re the only FReeper so far to pick up on that. Does that say something?

That speaks volumes that Hitler would waste a precious resource like a Submarine and its crew to stop and search ships for a few escaping Jews.

Apologizing for turning the Jews back and then not acknowledging the Holocaust.

Yes, that most people don’t read the posts.
And, sadly, about every election we get inundated with nuts of all kinds, including troll Holocaust deniers, so people probably assumed you were such a troll.

Actually they weren't forced to return to Germany. They did return to Europe where 288 were allowed to enter the UK, 224 to enter France, 214 to enter Belgium, and 181 to enter the Netherlands. That was before the outbreak of the war when no one knew that France, Belgium, and the Netherlands would soon become unsafe for Jews.
It is estimated that 709 of the passengers survived and 227 died. No help to FDR. Apparently the Dominican Republic was willing to accept the Jews but for some reason the captain did not try to go there after being turned away by Cuba.

The Holocaust could not have happened without the enthusiastic support of the people of the occupied countries. It was the mother of all pogroms. They led the Germans to the Jews. The murdering collaborators outnumbered the Schindlers many times to one.
Jewish refugees were turned away by so-called 'civilized' nations and sent to their deaths. Read the stories just today on "Inspector Dreyfus" actor Herbert Lom (RIP) and the fate of his girlfriend Didi when she was turned away at the port of Dover on the eve the German invasion of Czechoslovakia.
