Summary

"The Story of the Patria" by Dr. Erich Gershon Steiner recounts the tragic events surrounding the sinking of the Patria, a French passenger ship commandeered by the British in 1940. It was being used to transport Jewish refugees when it was sunk in the Haifa harbor, resulting in hundreds of casualties. This harrowing account details not only the history of the ship but also the impact of this lesser-known wartime tragedy on the Jewish community and the broader historical context of World War II. Dr. Steiner provides meticulous research and firsthand narratives to shed light on this poignant moment in Jewish and maritime history.
