Narrative Toward Books The Voyage

On May 13th 1939, five strangers boarded the MS St. Louis, a German ship leaving Hamburg on its way to Cuba. Four of the five were Jewish.  There was much joy and excitement on the dock because the passengers who boarded that ship believed that they were the lucky ones. Hitler himself had promised them  safety in Cuba far away from Nazi Germany and the murderous Third Reich. But, unbeknownst to the poor souls who began their journey to Cuba that day, they were about to embark upon a voyage of danger. The path of the MS St. Louis would take them on a dark and terrifying roller coaster ride. They would discover that all of their dreams had been built on Nazi treachery, secrets, and lies. As their lives hung in the balance each one of those five strangers would be put to the test. However, the voyage that began on that bright spring afternoon was only the beginning of the story .As the ship navigated her way through the ocean  events would occur, secrets would be withheld, and friendships  would be forged that would bind these five people together for rest of their lives.

Notice About Books The Voyage

Jewish people paid to leave Nazi Germany, on a voyage of the MS St Louis, bound for Cuba to resettle. But Cuba would not let them come in. Captain Schroeder of the MS Saint Louis kept trying to find a place for the ship to dock. This is a story of Alex, Anna, Benny, Manny, Elke, and Viktor, a German.

I really wanted to love this novel set in World War 2, but there were several things that held me back. The story begins in 1939 as five strangers have boarded the MS St. Louis, a German ship leaving Hamburg on its way to Cuba.One of the five was a young man who had been released from Dachau and carried with him a load of survivor guilt. As he boarded, the author had him thinking about the Germans reputed to be using Zyklon B to murder the Jews. This immediately made me stop reading and do some

Pretty engaging story, but what happened to the editing?I enjoyed this book. I especially liked the way the author went back and told us the rest of the story about Viktor and Elkke. To me that was the most suspenseful part of the book. It was very interesting and it was well written. The story centered on mainly five different people,Jews, placed on a ship that was supposed to carry them to Cuba during Hitler's reign of terror. The ship, the US St. Luis was full of Russian soldiers but the

I began this book expecting it to be another horrifying account of the concentration camps in WWII. Instead, I discovered a story about faith, family, love, forgiveness, and courage. This book left an imprint on my soul. The characters became real people, but in reality, they are all fictional, though the premise of this book and the tragedy of the MS St. Louis and her Jewish passengers fleeing wartorn Europe is very real. And the turning away of refugees, men, women, and children, by the United

I consider myself to be fairly well read, but I keep coming across Holocaust survivors stories that I knew nothing about. This is not a story about someone surviving the concentration camps, but of Jews (at least 4 of them) getting out of Germany on the MS St. Louis. We are never told WHY the Germans let over 900 Jews buy their freedom, but in June 1939, they sailed to Cuba thinking that they would escape the horrors that they had only just begun to see. Alex, Anna, Manny, and Elke were among

I enjoyed the way this book was written even though the POV style wasn't smooth or clear at times. The author made you feel a connection with the characters and did not shy away from difficult subjects. It reminded me in some ways of Sophie's Choice in the way that it was a tragically beautiful novel. I have not finished very many books in the past few years so the fact that I finished this one is a compliment to the author. I have always found the story of the German passenger ship full of Jews

This book really disappointed me. It's not a historical novel, which is why it validity my interest. Historical facts should be correct in my opinion, don't you agree? For instance, a person who joined the ARMY in 1941 would not have been stationed in Camp Pendleton, CA, which is a Marine Corps base and always has been. I dislike romance sagas, which is what this book is. This book also reads like a first or second draft and should not have been submitted for print. Missing words, words with
