The federal Liberals are working on an apology for the Canadian government's 1939 decision to turn away a boat of German Jews seeking asylum in Canada, The Canadian Press has learned. "I hope one day a Canadian government will apologize for what happened with the St. Louis," Housefather said at the time. Sources say work is ongoing to formalize the MS St. Louis apology and determine when best to deliver it. It was designed by Daniel Libeskind, the same architectural force behind the National Holocaust Monument, which officially opened Wednesday in Ottawa after a decade of sometimes-acrimonious work. The Wheel of Conscience was created by the Polish-born American architect Daniel Libeskind to commemorate the MS St. Louis.
