Storyline

In 1939, the Nazis ostentatiously place hundreds of Jewish refugees from all walks of life on a luxury liner bound for Havana, Cuba. However, when the ship arrives at Havana port, the Cuban government refuses entry to the Jewish passengers based on its strict immigration policy. The Nazis had anticipated this outcome, and it is exactly what they hoped for. As the refugees leave Havana in despair, the German government can use this to prove that Jews are the most unwelcome race in the world, providing a plausible excuse for Hitler's ethnic cleansing policy. Some say the film's underlying message is chilling, but the ending of Voyage of the Damned still offers a glimmer of hope: the subtitles tell us that most of the passengers on board ultimately escaped and survived.
