The M.S. St Louis tragedy on about May 27, 1939:

www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordell_Hull
Big surprise: Secretary of State Cordell Hull, an Episcopalian, was married (1917-1954, her death) to a Jewish woman, Rose Witz, originally from Austria.....and he advised President Roosevelt not to let the M.S. St Louis dock ashore and unload Jewish passengers into the United States.
Cordell Hull remains the longest serving secretary of state, for 11-years, from 1933-44.
Times have changed since 1939; today's 114th congress, 2015-2017 has 10 Jewish senators, 9-Democrats and 1-independent, and the House of Representatives has 18-Democrats and 1-Republican.
Am trying to determine what was number of Jewish senators and congressmen in May, 1939? It had to be much fewer than today?

So, how does this relate to today's two candidates, Hillary vs Donald ...... which one is the better choice and why?
