9 months ago During the build-up to World War II, the St. Louis carried more than 900 Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany in 1939 intending to escape anti-Semitic persecution. The refugees first tried to disembark in Cuba but were denied permission to land. After Cuba, the captain, Gustav Schröder, went to the United States and Canada, trying to find a nation to take the Jews in, but both nations refused. He finally returned the ship to Europe, where various countries, including the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands and France, accepted some refugees. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_St._Louis
Recently I learned that there was a mass year in Ireland in 1845-1849. Hunger was originally provoked by late blight epiphytoty. The main reason was the policy of the British government based on the principles of laissez-faire (government non-intervention in the economy)
I wanted to know more about it and I watched the movie Gangs of New York. In which poor Irish people emigrated to the USA, but there was no place for them there either. They had to fight for their rights to life. I recommend watching this movie.
