The statement it was a ship full of Jewish refugees from Germany denied entrance to Cuba and the United States bet describes the St. Louis incident of 1939.

Option: D

Explanation:

St. Louis is a German ship which was carried German refugees to United States and Cuba from Germany during second world war. The Cuba denied to give permission to the refugees to enter into their nation. The captain, and other staffs requested both the nation to give permission but they failed to achieve.
