Examines the last voyage of the "Struma", which sailed from Constanţa (Romania) in December 1941 with 750 Jewish refugees bound for Eretz-Israel. After being held up for two-months in the port of Istanbul, the ship was escorted out into the Black Sea where it was sunk by a Soviet submarine; all of the passengers but one perished. Places responsibility for the tragedy of the "Struma" on the Zionist movement, as well as on Romania, Turkey, and Great Britain. Contends that the dispatch of the refugee ship was a venture of the revisionist New Zionist Organization, which hoped to solve its deep financial crisis by selling tickets to non-revisionists at exorbitant prices. The "Struma" was bound for Istanbul only, because it was unfit for long sea voyages, and the certificates that were promised to the refugees in Istanbul proved to have been used already. The Jewish Agency was indifferent to the fate of the passengers in Istanbul. The British refused to let them into Eretz-Israel, while Romania refused to allow their return, although they were Romanian citizens. Turkey escorted the ship to the Black Sea knowing that this was tantamount to a death sentence for its passengers.
