On January 30th, the Wilhelm Gustloff sinking will be 72 years ago.
Despite the tragedy being so long ago, this tragic event will not be forgotten- as long as we choose to remember what we learn.
In the next 20 years or so, the survivors will be gone.
But hopefully, we will keep their memories alive.
I hope you remember this biography of the greatest maritime disaster so far... hopefully being the last.
