4 recall ‘Voyage of the Damned’

Four high-achieving men came to Omaha last week to tell of their Jewish boyhoods in Germany and an ill-fated boat trip — known as the “Voyage of the Damned.”

That is the title of a book and a movie from the 1970s about the SS St. Louis, a ship with 937 Jews fleeing the Nazi regime in 1939, months before the start of World War II.
