Walk

Walk

On June 6, more than 40 people walked silently from Tower Grove Park to the International Institute of St. Louis to call attention to the treatment of refugees today. They held signs of the people aboard the MS St. Louis, which in 1939 was turned away from the United States and Canada and sent back to Europe. Many of the passengers then died in the Holocaust. The Jewish Community Relations Council organized the walk, which included a number of local clergy from different faiths. Photos: Eric Berger
