Correct answer is:

The "St. Louis" Incident was an event wherever German Jews were refused entrance to the United States, revealing that the United States had not performed enough to prevent the rising of Hitler.

Step-by-step explanation:

On May 13, 1939, the SS St. Louis began voyage from Hamburg for Havana. On cabinet were 937 Jewish emigrants escaping exile from Nazi Germany following the terror of Kristallnacht, the massacre of shop-burning and bulk captures the early November. Every traveler conducted a legitimate visa for provisional entrance into Cuba.

Nearly 900 Jewish refugees were carried by a ship named St. Louis which were fleeting Germany heading for Cuba. They were declined, rejected, and denied to entry Cuba, so they directed to a new or different place or purpose of their route to Halifax. When they arrived, Canada declined the ship's entry and arrival, stating that the Jews can’t able to be a good settler; so, they’re sent home and most of the fugitive died in Nazi concentration camps.
