Saint
Louis: Ship of Fate
Our
The little-known story of how Canada turned its back on German Jewish
refugees fleeing Nazi Germany just before the Second World War is told
in stark detail in an exhibit titled St. Louis: Ship of Fate, now at
the Yarmouth County Museum.
Were the 907 passengers victims of official and unofficial
anti-Semitism in Canada? The exhibit, featuring interactive touch
screen technology, will awaken visitors to a dark chapter in their
nation’s past and to the very real consequences of prejudice
and
discrimination.
St. Louis: Ship of Fate will be at the Yarmouth County Museum from
April 16th to June 29th. Free admission during the month of April and
May.
