Thomas Gordon - Voyage of the damned a shocking true story of hope, betrayal and Nazi terror

Two deserve special mention. Hapag-Lloyd, successors to the Hamburg-American Line, regretted that they could not be more helpful. At headquarters in Hamburg we were told, the St. Louis documents are missing; we presume that during World War II things got lost. The files in Hapags New York office were confiscated in 1941 by the F.B.I., and subsequently destroyed.

The F.B.I., too, was friendly, but they regretted that their job was to collect information, not dispense it.
