Solution

In his writings, Elie Wiesel often pointed to the fate of the St. Louis as evidence of the United States' indifference to the suffering of the Jews during World War II. The St. Louis was a German ocean liner carrying over 900 Jewish refugees from Germany in 1939. The ship was forced to return to Europe after the U.S. and other countries refused to accept the refugees. Many of these refugees later perished in the Holocaust. This incident is often cited as a clear example of the world's indifference to the plight of the Jews during this time.
