Exodus 1947 carried the Largest - 4,515 Holocaust Jewish Refugees - Exit Port of Baltimore memorial
Exodus 1947 Exit Port of Baltimore
Exodus 1947 was a ship that carried Jewish emigrants from France to British Mandatory Palestine (Before it became Israel), on July 11, 1947. Most of the emigrants were Holocaust survivors who had no legal immigration certificates for Palestine. Following wide media coverage, the British Royal Navy seized the ship and deported all its passengers back to Germany Europe.
The ship was formerly the packet steamer SS President Warfield for the Baltimore Steam Packet Company. From the ship's launch in 1928 until 1942, it carried passengers and freight between Norfolk, Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland in the United States. During World War II, it served both the Royal Navy and the United States Navy; for the latter as USS President Warfield (IX-169).
as people began boarding the ship at the port of Sète near Marseilles, a British RAF plane was circling overhead and a British Royal Navy warship was waiting a short distance out at sea.[10]
The Exodus 1947 left Sète sometime between two and four in the morning of July 11,[13] flying a Honduran flag and claiming to be headed for Istanbul.[14] It was carrying 4,515 passengers including 1,600 men, 1,282 women, and 1,672 children and teenagers.[15] Palmach (Haganah's military wing) skipper Ike Aronowicz was its captain[16] and Haganah commissioner Yossi Harel was commander.[17]
As it left the port, the Exodus was shadowed by the sloop HMS Mermaid and by RAF aircraft. Later, the Mermaid was relieved by the destroyer HMS Cheviot.[13]

2015 CPD Holocaust Museum trip
On October 19th, 56 officers of various ranks traveled to Washington DC for professional development training. The premise of this training was to expose officers to the history of the legal and social events which occurred in Germany during the 1930’s through the end of World War II. The focus of this trip was the Holocaust and the role that law enforcement played in this historic tragedy. During the charter bus ride to DC, discussion of the Holocaust and related issues, as well as a viewing of the Last Days, a documentary of Hungarian survivors of the Holocaust, was the lead-up to the following day’s learning experience. The night of the 19th, officers were treated to a lecture by Ph.D. Alexander Hernandez, an expert with four decades of study and lecture on the topic. On the 20th officers toured the Holocaust Museum and participated in the “Law Enforcement and Society: Lessons of the Holocaust” program which enables law enforcement officers to examine the role their profession played in the Holocaust and challenges them to reflect upon their professional and personal responsibilities in a democracy today. Chief Jacobs had a vision of this training for Columbus officers to expand the concept and understanding of how pivotal police behavior can be in affecting society. Chief Jacobs gained inspiration from Philadelphia, PA Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey who, in conjunction with the Museum, created the program while he served as the Washington, D.C. Police Chief. Chief Jacobs proceeded to secure funding for this truly inspiring experience. The funding was provided by the Columbus Police Foundation based on two generous donations from the Wolfe family and the Columbus Jewish Foundation specifically for this training purpose. My hope is that you enjoy and learn as much as we did from this experience with a truly wonderful and engaged group of officers.
Annual Circle of Peace Pilgrimage to Washington D.C.
Each year, a group of Saint Paul police officers and members of The Circle of Peace Movement take a trip to Washington D.C.
The group visits the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, the National Law Enforcement Museum, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
The exhibits are every bit as thought-provoking as the topics of conversation are challenging.
After each day, the group sits in a circle to share emotions and thoughts from what they experienced.
The purpose of the pilgrimage is to gain a better understanding and respect of ourselves and each other through different points of view.

The rocket attack is the deepest strike by Palestinian militants since Israel launched an offensive in the Gaza Strip earlier on Tuesday.

We want pause to just thank and acknowledge the heroism not only of our fallen officer Johns but all of the officers who stood their efforts yesterday to bring this gunman down so quickly literally saved the lives of countless people. As was chronicled yesterday, there are thousands of people inside the Holocaust Museum; and one life lost is a tragedy but this could have been much, much worse.

James von Brunn is officially being charged at this point with murder as well as killing in the course of possession of a firearm in a federal facility. So as we move forward this investigation will continue. The metropolitan police department will continue to work with the FBI on the homicide case and any additional charges that come out as we move forward in this investigation.

STORYLINE
An 88-year-old white supremacist who opened fire in the US Holocaust Memorial and Museum in Washington DC, killing a guard, will be charged with murder, officials said on Thursday.
Security Guard Stephen T. Johns was shot to death by Holocaust denier James von Brunn after opening the door to let him into the museum, District Police Chief Cathy Lanier said at a news conference.
Von Brunn then exchanged fire with guards who shot and critically injured him, stopping him from entering the museum and hurting anyone else, Lanier said.
The museum was closed and flags were at half-staff Thursday in honour of Johns, 39.
Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty said quick work by law enforcement officers literally saved the lives of countless people.
Bouquets of roses, lilies and other flowers were lined up outside the museum walls on Thursday morning.
The entrance where the shooting occurred was still cordoned off by police tape.
Von Brunn - a self-described artist, advertising man and author living in Annapolis, Maryland - once tried to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve.
He also wrote of a lifetime of seething anger.
