During an era when millions of Jews fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe, the Titanic sailed on her maiden voyage.
At the time, she was the largest and most luxurious ship ever built and many of her 2,200 passengers were Jewish.
At 23:40, April 14, 1912 the Titanic swiped an iceberg and sank within two and a half hours.
Most of her passengers lost their lives.
The sinking of the Titanic was one of the worst and well known maritime disasters of the 20th century.
The entire world mourned the Titanic.
The grief was universal and shared by people of many nations and religions.
