The Struma tragedy was one of the grimmest episode of the history of the Holocaust. Fleeing Nazi Europe and the Antonescu regime in Romania, an large number of European and Romanian Jews chose Constanza harbor as their departure point for Palestine. It was a very old vessel, built in 1856, which could transport some 120 people. The Struma arrived in Istanbul in December 15, 1941 with 769 onboard. After two-and-a-half months in Istanbul under quarantine, the ship was forced to leave Istanbul harbor in 1942. Britain’s refusal to issue passports to Palestine and the Romanian authorities’ decision not to allow any of the emigrants back, led do a dead-end situation. The next day, The Struma sank miles from the Bosphorus following an explosion. In later years, an inquiry suggested that the Struma was sunk by a Russian torpedo. The Struma Mystery remained unsolved to this day. Only one person survived the catastrophe.
