In 1939, the S.S. Saint Louis spent several days anchored at Havana while waiting for the Cuban authorities to allow 900 Jewish refugees from Germany into their country. Confident that a painting by Rembrandt that had belonged to their family since the 17th century--and which they had smuggled on board the ship--would convince the Cubans to let them in, little Daniel Kaminsky and his uncle waited at the dock for their relatives to disembark. But the plan failed and the ship returned to Germany; the Jews were sent back to certain death in Europe, and the painting disappeared. When the painting resurfaces at a London auction in 2007, Daniel's son travels from the United States to Havana, enlisting the help of detective Mario Conde to find out what happened to this artwork and to his family |
