Seventy-eight years ago, an ocean liner carrying more than 900 Jewish refugees fleeing Adolf Hitler’s Germany hovered aimlessly for 72 hours just a couple of miles off the Florida coast while Jewish leaders in Washington frantically begged President Franklin D. Roosevelt to let the passengers into the United States. “So near, and yet so far,” one passenger murmured to her husband as they watched traffic darting about Miami Beach. Farther than she even guessed. Roosevelt said no, and the SS St. Louis sailed back to Europe, where World War II was just weeks away. Many of the passengers would fall back into the hands of the Nazis they were trying to escape. About 250 of them did not survive the war. Eva Weiner was one of those passangers.  She was a young girl and she and her family were trying to escape from Europe.  Eva, sit down with our Hometown Histories crew to discuss this tragic story. Dallas Grove is the host of this episode and Executive Producer; Produced by Ted Dellinger and Joe Bove; Music is by Bill Madden.
