Steven Ujifusa has a passion for oceanliners. The companies who build and ran them and the passengers who sailed on them - many immigrants coming to America to start a new life. I

n his book The Last Ships from Hamburg: Business, Rivalry, and the Race to Save Russia's Jews on the Eve of World War Steven explores the lives of the Jewish immigrants who fled Europe before war broke out.

The Wall Street Journal calls it "Absorbing . . . a David-and-Goliath tale of the industrial age."

In his book, Steven includes the stories of Jewish families on Titanic, having first learnt about the Ship of Dreams from his Jewish grandmother who told him about the bravery of the Straus's who didn't get into a lifeboat when given a chance. Ida would not leave the sinking ship because she couldn't imagine life without her husband, Isador, and they both perished.
