«El viaje de los malditos» is the historical chronicle by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (285 pages, in Spanish).
The book narrates the voyage of the transatlantic liner St. Louis, which set sail from Hamburg on May 13, 1939, with 937 Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. The authorities of Cuba, the United States, and Canada denied them entry, and the ship had to return to Europe; the odyssey had been organized by the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels.
The work was published in 1976; this edition is illustrated and the cover notes that it served as the basis for a movie.
Reading for those interested in the history of the Holocaust, World War II, and Jewish refugees.
