I've seen that series, it's good.
There was also a boat, don't remember the name of it, that sailed from somewhere in occupied Europe and was full of Jewish people trying to escape persecution. The boat was denied entry into the US, Canada or South America possibly due to antisemitism of the times.
Eventually it made it's way back towards Europe and had a stop in Ireland. Everyone who could got out there but all were not allowed to depart to Ireland and ended up in Nazi hands with the majority dying.
