(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
During the secret negotiations between the Zionist organizations and the British, the most that Britain offered was permits for the children to enter Palestine. This offer was rejected (by the passengers or by the Turks; it isn't clear). After 70 days, the Struma was forced back into the Black Sea, where it was sunk by a Russian submarine on February 24 1942. Only one person survived.
