Letters: America’s inhumanity to Jewish refugees

Re “The voyage back,” Feb. 3

Thanks to Robert Krakow for writing the play “The Trial of Franklin Delano Roosevelt,” and to The Times for printing the article about the hundreds of European Jewish refugees in 1939 who were refused entry into Cuba and the U.S. and sent back to die in the Holocaust.

This was one of America’s darkest and most inhumane decisions. Perhaps we should remember “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” when we think of American values.
