When Canada Said No: The Abandoned Jews of the MS St. Louis

	The National Task Force on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research presents a new DVD that revisits the MS St. Louis incident through the testimony of survivors and witnesses and the findings of eminent historians, and using original footage and documentation. This short film reveals why our government acted the way it did, and helps us understand what led to a refusal that casts a dark shadow on Canada’s humanitarian record.
