900 Jews boarded this boat. They got permit to arrive to Cuba. When they arrived to Cuba, the Cuban government didn't let them go down. And then they went to New York. Roosevelt didn't let [the Jews on the St. Louis boat] go down [in New York]. I think one person jumped from the boat. Then they went to England and from the 900 people that were on the boat, England took 300, thank God. (03:20–04:14)
