May 1939: Six months after European Jews saw their communities attacked in Kristallnacht One week before the King and Queen of England arrive for the first visit of a UK monarch in Washington, D. C. The MS St. Louis arrives in Cuba from Europe President Franklin D. Roosevelt lies deathly ill with pneumonia. Cuba refuses to let the 937 Jewish passengers who had arranged to stay there leave the ship MS St. Louis. Hero Captain Gustav Schröder pleads with other nations. In this timeline, one person answers the call for her nation: Eleanor Roosevelt. Can she keep the president's illness and her secret presidency from the newspapers and resettle more than 900 Jews before the King and Queen arrive? Of course she can. She's Eleanor Roosevelt.
