German Girl

A beautifully written debut novel set aboard the liner St Louis as it travels from Hamburg to Cuba - supposedly taking Jewish families to a safe new home. Both intensely moving and thought-provoking, this novel is based on a true story, one of the most devastating, yet little known, tragedies of WWII.
