MPT Presents
Nobody Wants Us
Special | 58m 2sVideo has Closed Captions
Jewish refugees trapped on a ship in Hampton Roads hope to make America their new home.
In 1940, 86 exhausted Jewish European refugees were trapped on the SS Quanza in the port of Hampton Roads, VA. They were hoping to be allowed on American soil — where millions of others in distress had safely landed before them. Times had changed and the US was turning away refugees at this critical time in history. Would they be turned away too? Film is followed by a dialogue recorded in 2020.
