asylum poem #1

 asylum poem #1

do any of you
remember 1939
when a boatload
of 935 jews
approached
our shores
and we
sent them
back
to auschwitz?

Note on the above: look in
Wikipedia or other source
material for Captain Gustav
Shroder and the St. Louis
for accurate details of the full
story. This event was later
made into both a book
and a movie. JJ
