  St. Louis Exhibit Opening Cancellation

  The Museum of History and Holocaust Education was supposed to open a new traveling exhibit entitled The Tragedy of the St. Louis on Tuesday, March 24, 2020. The exhibit tells the story of the German luxury liner, the St. Louis, which was carrying over 900 refugees from Germany when it was turned away at Havana Harbor in Cuba. The museum curator as well as members of the Simon family, featured on the exhibit panels, were going to speak at the opening event, including Mrs. Ruth Simon Heinemman, a kindertransport survivor and Kennesaw, Georgia, resident. https://historymuseum.kennesaw.edu/exhibitions/traveling/st-louis.php
