VOYAGES :
A Musical Play
by David Schaefer
In May 1939, the S.S. St. Louis
sailed from Hamburg, Germany,
bound for Havana, Cuba with
a thousand Jewish passengers,
desperate to escape Nazi persecution.
On board, a young Jewish girl
and an anti-Nazi German officer
fall in love, despite the
impending danger.
When the ship is refused
entry into Cuba,
a rabbi, a lawyer, and
a concentration camp survivor
plot to avoid an almost certain
voyage of death.
