“Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me!”
Americans and the Holocaust Exhibit
After the M.S. St. Louis, a ship carrying thousands of hopeful Jewish refugees, was refused from both Cuba and the United States, the fates of those aboard hung in the balance. Cartoonist Jesse Taylor Cargill personifies the barriers to entry with a mighty hand of intolerance, blocking the refugees.
