Dear ,
Saw this Tweet of Cuba being on the "State Sponsors of Terrorism List" with a quote attributed to you. Sadly, there is evidence that Cuba's Castro regime has a long history of terrorism that continues to this day. state.gov/reports/countr

As #HolocaustRemembranceDay nears, let’s recall SS ST. LOUIS.
In 1939, the ship left Europe with ~930 Jews fleeing Nazis.
Cuba barred entry (to all but a few). US & Canada admitted no one.
Ship had to return to Europe. 254 of the passengers were later killed by Nazis.
Shame!
