I am pretty sure that it is the S.S St. Louis.
The MS St. Louis attempted in 1939 to find homes for 937 German Jewish refugees of World War II, it was denied entry to Cuba, the United States, and Canada.
No, he is not Jewish.
The St. Louis incident was when Jewish refugees (aprox. 900) were fleeing Germany, heading for Cuba. They were refused entry to Cuba, so they redirected their route to Halifax. When they arrived, Canada denied the ship's entry, stating that the Jews "would not make good settlers." They were sent home, and most of the refugees died in Nazi concentration camps.

St. Louis Jewish Light was created in 1947.
Most of "the rest of the world" was superficially sympathetic but did not want to admit refugees. Obviously, this is a huge generalization. Please see the link.
